So daycare day was looming and baby D.A. still didn't want to take a bottle. Everything I have read said that if you are still breastfeeding, someone else (aka DADDY) needs to get the kid to take the bottle. There are professionals who spend their time studying the boob and bottle mystery and giving out advice to help confused parents. I feel that if someone has dedicated themselves to this topic they might know a thing or two about it, right? Well, G was having difficulty getting our daughter to take the bottle so he wanted me to try it. I explained what the professionals have warned - that this can confuse the baby and send mixed messages, meaning she might like bottle better than momma! I LOVE the time I spend with my daughter breastfeeding her - it is precious and I don't want to lose that exerience just yet.
So G thinks he knows better and kind of brushes off the experts - you know, those people that study boobs! As a man you think he could appreciate that. Or is this reaction just because he is a man and an engineer and feels that there has to be a way to fix it somehow in a logical way?
Now I love this man but sometimes he makes me crazy!
Thankfully D.A. finally took the bottle (1 day before daycare...whew!) and I celebrated with a big old drink.
