Today we went over to my mom's to celebrate Mother's Day. Kate has been refusing to take a bottle for the last week. Prior to that she didn't seem to mind taking a bottle. Since I will be going back to work last week I was nervous that she was suddenly refusing the bottle. Jamisen tried several times this week and she just cried herself to sleep and would refuse to eat. So today we decided that we would wait her out and try yet again to get her to take a bottle. She cried for about an hour and then fell asleep. When she woke up I tried to feed her in her car seat without her seeing me. She started to cy again so I picked her up and faced her forward. Once she calmed down, I gave her the bottle. After a few tries she started eating and I'm sure she was hungry since it had been about 4 hrs since her last meal. While she was eating her bottle, she filled her diaper. It went through her onesie and pants and also all the way up her back. After cleaning her up and changing her clothes she was pretty happy.
After we got home I fed her and she seemed happy for a while. Then she started to get cranky again. Jamisen heated up a bottle and she took it without hesitation. I took a picture to prove it. Hopefully her phase of refusing the bottle is now over.
