...why can it never be simple? Noelle has recently started fighting the bottle after only 2-3 oz by growling, crying, and bapping at the bottle with her increasingly strong arms. Basically, she's acting like she's being tortured instead of being fed. Since she is drinking up to 6 1/2oz at a time at daycare without a fuss, I don't think she's fussing with us cuz of reflux. I believe she's fussing cuz she wants to DRIVE US CRAZY. I've now taken to trying to distract her with the TV while feeding to keep her from fussing. I'm also bent over at an awkward angle to keep the bottle in her mouth. So I'm basically letting her watch whatever TV show distracts her and setting myself up for a backache just to get this girl to eat. This does not bode well for future power struggles between mommy and Noelle.
And her pediatrician says it's okay for us to start introducing solids (read: rice cereal) to her. Great. Even more feeding fun. Bleah. Oh well, regardless of her driving us nuts during feeding, we at least know she's eating enough since she's now a hefty 14lbs.
