I haven't posted in a while because since the last post life has been totally awful. She has been in pain worse than I have ever seen. Basically crying all day with little 5 minute breaks of silence. Luckily she slept through the nights as per normal, so at least I had that. I am not sure if this was in fact a bottle issue, or if this was a flu/cold. Jack and I are sick as dogs right now with very sore throats so this would explain the refusal to drink. I know that I do not want to even swallow air...ouch. I have her on a different set of bottles and I am happy w
ith the outcome so far. They are the playtex drop ins. I feel like I am doing something when I can actually hear the air being squeezed out before I feed her and the other plus for me is that I no longer have to wash bottles...yay. The liners are sterilized and are not like the older bag system that are a royal pain to fill. This is sac with a rigid ring that catches on the bottle rim. She took to the nipple right away which also surprised me. She is also eating solids no problem and has yet to refuse anything that I have put in front of her (oh yeah, Rice she hates). She is almost back to normal so I took her to the Marina and the beach today and she was having a blast people watching. I got myself an Ice Cap and sat on the patio and she drank some water from her straw cup and she was chatting about life....hahaha. It was pretty funny. Like the two of us went for coffee. I guess I will have to wait it out to determine if this was related to her formula before I try the Hypoallergenic brand. AHHHHH!!! When will this end? Maybe the specialist will call by the time she is 18...then again maybe not. I am so desperate that I am even considering trying to re lactate. Not sure why I think that this would work this time when I failed the first time. If I could have predicted the future I would have tried 'harder'?! I don't know. I guess I am grasping.
