The Bottle

Jaycee still struggles with taking a bottle. Before I started back at work, Tavo gave her a bottle once a day during the week and on the weekends twice a day. Each time she fights the bottle, it takes about an hour to feed her. We have even tried several different bottles and tired sippy cups. Now that I have started back at work and Sani has been giving her a bottle, she still struggles. Jaycee is with Sani for about 6 - 7 hours three days a week and the most she drinks is about 3 ounces during that time. Last week was my third week back at work. I thought Jaycee would finally break down and realize mommy isn't around so I have to drink from the bottle, but no. She is still a stubborn one. I know Tavo and Sani both are doing the best they can, but for some reason she wants nothing to do with the bottle. I hope she learns real soon, because I am going to have to start working longer days soon. Currently I am only working 6 hour days so I can come home and feed her after Tavo picks her up. When I get home she is ready to nurse for sure. She is a silly one. I am praying next week she will do better. Starting the week of April 6th my friend Maria is also going to watch her once a week. Sani will watch her twice a week and Maria once. Maria has a two year daughter and we are going to swap days. I'll watch her daughter Estella on Tuesdays and she will watch Jaycee on Thursdays. Hopefully Jaycee will take the bottle better for Maria. Come on Jaycee.........Mommy and Daddy know you can do it!
