Now that Lucy seems to be building some solid potty-training skills, Rosie has decided to throw us a curve. It looks like she might be a bottle-refuser. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rosie took a bottle quite easily the first few times we gave it to her. However, for the past few weeks, she has completely rejected it. There are at least two possible reasons for this:<\/p>\n

1) We _are_ having spoiled-milk problems, so it’s natural she doesn’t like it! We don’t know what’s going on, but suddenly we’re stumbling upon bag after bag of spoiled milk from our frozen supply. Am I using the pump incorrectly? Is our sterilizer not working effectively? Are the new milk storage bags contaminated in some way? Am I not washing or rinsing the bottles well enough? This is a frustrating mystery to us. We never had any problems with spoiled milk during Lucy’s nursing days, and (as previously established) we’re card-carrying germophobes. What’s going wrong this time?<\/p>\n

2) Rosie may simply be a human-nipple kind of gal. I’ve heard of babies who refuse the bottle because they just don’t like silicone nipples. We never had any problems like this with Lucy, and Rosie gobbled down her first few bottles with vigor. So, why now? What has changed? Has it just been too long since we bottle-fed her? And, more importantly, how can we win her back over to the occasional artificial nipple? We do so value our monthly date nights — which require baby-sitter feedings!<\/p>\n

We’ve already had to cancel a special outing for tomorrow afternoon because of this, and we’re planning to bring Rosie along to another event Jon and I are going to on Tuesday night. But we would like to solve this dilemma soon so that the option of grown-up time can be a reality once more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
