Clair hasn't wanted anything to do with a bottle for the past 2.5 days. She has had an intestinal bug and has been drinking water for the past couple days. At first I didn't mind it, but after about 24 hours I started kt feel guilty and like something was missing not feeding her bottles. She is still really young. I tried soy milk, water, pedialite and mixes, but nothing was acceptable. The doctor told me I had to keep her off her formula for 48 hours. So tonight I settled into her room into out chair, we snuggled up and I offered her a regular bottle. At first she tried to push it away, but once I managed to get enough into her mouth that she realized it was her normal, she took right to it with pleasure. We enjoyed a lovely snuggle and leisure bottle. It felt so comforting after the past few days. I had missed those moments and I think she did too.
Feeding a baby their bottle is one of theost relaxing and fulfilling things. I've always loves doing it. I can't even explain why, but I have. Add onto that witnessing the recovery of my little girl from feeling horrible and it made that bottle the most magical since the first feedings.
I'm hopeful for a good night sleep and that she keeps it down.
