It sounds like Bridget had a pretty easy time learning t feed- I guess that's coming from where we are now at least. With the Quail we started out with what we thought was nursing and supplementing with an S&S and syringe and it took a couple weeks to get her on a bottle. Now at 8 mos she does well with a bottle and we are seeing an OT and working on jaw strengthening and technique/position/bottle nipple....etc to try to keep her nursing. I'd say on average maybe 3-4 times a week I have success getting her on and nursing with the aide of a bottle nipple and curved syringe. She pulls away and crys the rest of the time.Well I could go on and on about what we are doing but basically I'd love any other suggestions.It seems like something works for a week or 2 and then she figures out the scheme and essentially tells me to forget about it :) sigh....Colehttp://www.thetaooftulips.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-78070208488656170142009-10-27T22:35:02.129-04:002009-10-27T22:35:02.129-04:00Thank-you for sharing your feeding journey.

I was a dedicated pumper and it wasn't easy especially going back to work after 2 months. I believe I made it to 9 months. We initially used a finger feeder, which is a tiny latex tube that you tape to your forefinger and has an attached well filled with milk. You then can hold baby in same position as breast feeding and just insert your finger with tube for them to suckle and strengthen their suck. It was wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576310937763715660.post-52222703618240046392009-10-18T01:17:26.640-04:002009-10-18T01:17:26.640-04:00I love your journal entry..it's beautiful.

Instead now I pump and put it through the ng. However I am still thankful for that first month. Thanks for sharing all of you feeding stories. I find them really interesting since feeding is a huge thing for us.Sasha@ Blyssfulhealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645600854443758785noreply@blogger.com
