I went to the eye doctor today for my routine check up today. I haven't been there in over two years because she won't do eye exams while I'm pregnant. Since I hadn't been there in awhile, she decided to dilate my eyes. Because of this, she told me that I would have to pump and dump Julia's next feeding. I didn't think this would be a problem because Julia takes bottles all day at daycare and we have hundreds of ounces of frozen milk. I was wrong!
Julia must associate being at home with eating from me. I always knew that she didn't want to take a bottle from me, but I assumed that she would take one from Nathan. Wrong again! She absolutely refused to take the bottle from him. I finally managed to get her to eat a little less than 2 ounces from the bottle. After that, she started refusing again. We decided to just let it go at that and are hoping that it will hold her over until bedtime, when the doctor said that I would be able to feed her again. As of right now, she seems to be doing all right. She may decide to go on a hunger strike until I whip out the breast again.
I guess this is a lesson for us. We had better start giving her bottles more often at home so that she gets used to it. Otherwise, if we have to switch to formula, like we did with Alexander, we may have an even bigger problem. She may decide to go on a hunger strike until I whip out the breast again.
