Thank God she's drinking! I was making her miserable with the straw - one drip at a time...then just stuck the nipple in her mouth and wouldn't allow her to take it out even though she fought a good fight! Then she just started sucking!!!!!! 2 whole ounces!!
She's completely off her normal schedule - how often should I feed her a bottle & how many ounces? What if she only takes 2 oz. at a time?
Thanks everyone!!
Love,
Gigi's Mommy

First off, thanks so much for the "awake pics"! :)
And good job for getting her to eat. Definately apart of being a parent is having to be the tough guy sometimes.
About her eating, the important thing is you got her to eat a little. Im sure 2oz does not seem like a large amount, but it is something. So you guys are off to a great start! Im sure in time she is going to come around. And if not, when you are back here, dont be afraid to ask her doctor a million questions. Doctors are great for helping you figure out "tricky" ways to get your baby to do things you need them to do. Just be patient and continue to do the great job you guys are doing!
Anyways, love you guys! Gigi looks perfect in your arms!
I just thought of something else. Do you know the temperture she is used to drinking her bottle at? Have you tried giving her the bottle cold? Sometimes the temperture makes all the difference. Just something to try if you havent already. Love ya guys!
Little by little she will eat...remember, this could be a slow process (or not). However it goes, be patient.
