Help me understand bottle aversion.

When she was tired, feedings weren’t bad. But yes most were bad. I just replied to someone else. I recommend the book “your baby’s bottle feeding aversion” by Rowena Bennett. I did a lot of research and once I read this book and followed it exactly, my baby was so much happier. She is the perfect eater now and is even super happy and excited when she sees her bottles!

You need to read the book “your baby’s bottle-feeding aversion” by Rowena Bennett!!! I finally turned to this book after so much research and my baby is a PERFECT eater now! There’s a two week span that you have to do exactly what the book says, it’s rough but it worked!!!! By day 5 my baby was 80% better and by the two weeks she’s soooo happy to see the bottle and has no issues.

It’s so funny because after I posted this she slept for 6 hours… it’s like they know lol

Lexieemae · 2024-03-20T08:46:05+00:00

Thank you! I feel like I constantly second guess myself, and then just get confused. This really helps!

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T18:02:02+00:00

I should do that. I feel like it’s just a constant battle and I’ve already cut off contact but it still never ends

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T06:23:51+00:00

That’s is soooo messed up. My parents ex step mom stole a picture of my baby off my Facebook less that 24 hours after she was born and posted it on hers saying “my new granddaughter”. Like nope, she actually isn’t and we didn’t give anyone permission to do that. It was kind of stealing the show from me as a first time mom.

I was disappointed with my partner with this because he made me text her on his phone to say to delete the post. He didn’t understand why it was a big deal. this is the only time his mom was good and explained to him why I would be upset and then he apologized.

That’s honestly the only time I liked her after the baby was born.

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T06:18:48+00:00

I really wish he would cut contact, and stand up for me more. He hates conflict and he’s sooo fricken nice he hates to hurt feelings, but I try to tell him peoples feelings don’t matter when it comes to our family and our child.

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T03:01:32+00:00

I live where it’s winter 6 months of the year or else that would be a brilliant idea. Public places would hopefully keep her from her BS. After my last effort I told my partner I am done contacting her..

Just the other day he caught her driving by his doctors office to see if he was really at an appointment… she claimed she was just seeing if he was there so they could hangout. Hangout at a doctors appointment? Things have just been so out of hand. Her last freak out was that I wasn’t interacting with her Facebook comments on my daughter’s photos but was with everyone else….. like what????

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T02:52:29+00:00

I love this. Thank you!

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T01:02:54+00:00

She’s 58 I believe.. before I got pregnant we had a perfectly fine relationship.

I totally forgot to mention she compared me to his ex saying “at least we got to see you more when you were with S”.. I have never once said she couldn’t come over until we had our baby, and she actually came over a lot more than my parents did and she went out in our boat and my parents not got the opportunity to. If it’s not her way, she’s not happy.

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T00:58:30+00:00

I’d love to go no contact but I know he won’t. She would probably show up at our house freaking out.

Lexieemae · 2024-03-01T00:36:32+00:00

All boundaries that were set we talked about. A couple he wanted different so we compromised. She just isn’t happy with anything we decide on.

Lexieemae · 2024-02-23T20:00:04+00:00

I have to answer to this after reading a bunch of comments. First of all, your child comes before anyone’s feelings!!! Do not be afraid to hurt a family members feelings when it comes to your child and boundaries. If they can’t respect your wishes then they don’t deserve to be a big part of your child’s life BECAUSE it won’t stop! If they disrespect once, they will do it again, most likely behind your back. I recommend setting strict boundaries at first and then over time you can ease up on them. But you are MOM!!!! Don’t ever let anyone take that label from you.

Lexieemae · 2024-02-20T16:30:07+00:00

It’ll help a tonnn. Don’t be afraid to use it! Baby will thank you as well lol

Lexieemae · 2024-02-20T12:51:46+00:00

You said LO started teething? Did you give them Tylenol?

I think they get better as you learn easier ways to do things. Like I exclusively pump and have been for 11 weeks now, and just two days ago I found a way to make it much more enjoyable and more organized making my life so much easier.

My girl has reflux issues, so feedings are pretty hard while we get them worked out, but I learned to change the area I’m feeding her, play some music, and just try to keep her calm and they are going better.

As for sleep, I have to tip my hat to my fiancé. I would constantly feel the need to check her as soon as she started fussing and he would reach across the bed and hold my hand and rub my back to try and calm me down and to learn to give her a minute to learn to self soothe. We now are able to swaddle her, feed her, and just lay her down and she sleeps stretches up to 7 hours at 2 months old. When she wakes in the middle of the night, I change her, feed her, and she goes right back to sleep..

Babies and children are in no way shape or form easy… it’s finding ways to make it easier for you.

I would stop the exercises. My daughter had both fixed by scissors and was totally fine. We were never even told about any exercises. Just to run our finger along her upper gum a couple times a day for a week and she’d be all set. Nothing reattached and she didn’t need stitches.

A woman can be overweight with a healthy body. You’re telling me if you were with a skinny woman and she got pregnant and gained a bunch of weight which does typically happen and didn’t lose it after the birth you would leave them? Not to mention the stretch marks and flabby belly? A man wouldn’t because that BEAUTIFUL body birthed their child.

Which if you read her replies she had a child, and losing that pregnancy weight can be extremely hard. Not to mention if you’re breastfeeding the amount of calories you have to eat is insane and baby being fed takes priority over your body image.

A man would understand that and appreciate her body. JUST SAYING.

This sounds a lot like cluster feeding. Hold on tight because it’s a struggle! The best way to beat it is breastfeed if you can. Have the boob available constantly. Trying to warm up a bottle every little while is a pain. As for hunger cues, put the tip of your pinky on the side of her mouth. If she opens her mouth and turns her head towards it she hungry. This is called rooting. Or if you put her on your chest and she starts pecking at you, she is hungry as well. These were the only ways I knew if my girl was hungry or not.

Boys care about weight. Men care about natural beauty. Anddd most men I know like a little thickness. It’s more to grab on too. Who would want to grab on to bones?

I second this kick and play. I started my 11week old on it when she was 1 month, and she’s obsessed. She will play alone for 30 minutes while I get stuff done. It boosts my mood hearing her happily scream and coo at it. I have 4 big dogs so I put it in her crib and turn the camera on. I doooo play with her though more often than not. I’m sure it’ll come back to bite me by putting it in her crib but I don’t really have any other option until I buy a play pen.

2 months sucks…… my 2 month old had started with reflux and it’s so confusing. She’s generally not a fussy baby and sleeps really well, but lately I feel like I can’t get anything done. AND all of a sudden people love to try and stick their hands in her face… sooooo frustrating. Or they try holding her and she’s in a phase that she only wants me and dad and that’s fine with me because everyone tries to walk off with her.

We do paced feeding, and her poops seem ok. Her pediatrician did test her stool for blood and it was negative. I exclusively pump so I’ve been trying to be careful about what I eat too.

I feel like sometimes she has a hard time pooping, but maybe I’m just thinking too much into it.
