Hubby's out with Kai & he's on hunger strike

[Neecee]

I fed Kai at 11:30am, they left here at 11:45am and Kai's not had anything since I fed him! Hubby's at a friends house with him and he just won't take a bottle at all! He said that he'd tried to give him the bottle but he just fought and cried. His friend and his wife have also tried. I don't know what to do, he's not had anything for hours, won't even take water and they're not even near by so Martin said he's leaving early to come home.

awww bless him how long will it be before he gets home x

 

[Neecee]

Not for at least another hour and a half.

When I phoned I could hear him crying in the background, he sounded REALLY upset.

Hopefully he will feed when they get back.

[clairebear]

Hope your (.Y.) are ready for him. Hopefully it wont take them long

 

[Neecee]

Hope your (.Y.) are ready for him. Hopefully it wont take them long

As soon as i heard him crying, the let-down reflex happened! So, yeah, his dinner's ready!

 

[polo_princess]

poor guy... Jasmine doesn't eat much for others either unless she is super hungry... She will go like 5 hours plus if im not around.. (she is bottlefed)... And she usually eats every 2-3 hours.

Poor lil guy

 

[Neecee]

I miss my baby boy

 

[Pearl]

oh no hun, i know that must be hard ! why is it taking so long , is he on his way home..maybe u should have just gone with him ? or when ur OH takes him out make sure u feed him just before he leaves and tell him hes gotta be back within 2/3 hours ?

 

[Neecee]

They got back about an hour ago. Kai seemed OK, but he was hungry! The boy held out for 6 whole hours!!! So stubborn!

 

[Pearl]

aw no, hes just a baby - poor little guy. happy hes got his booby juice at hand now

 

[Blob]

Awwww I hate when i go out and i come back in and she's been screaming its so sad!!

Awww I'm sorry, I really wouldn't let him go that far without you until you get the bottle thing down. At his age it's not like he's being stubbor or manipulative it's all he knows and he doesn't do bottles yet so it's really unfair to him to push him into it like that you know? He just doens't know any different, even though you've tried all he knows is you have his food at this point youknow? I'm not trying to make you feel bad or anything but I would look at it from that point not that he'sjust refusing because he only wants the breast, just that he doesn't understand yet

Did you try the switcheroo hun?

 

[Neecee]

Did you try the switcheroo hun?

No, not yet. Anything resembling a routine seems to have gone out the window these past few days...

He was on bottles for the first 6-8 weeks and then swapped onto boobs just fine. I just assumed that he'd have no problems switching back and we're only trying him with one bottle a day if that.

I understand, I'm honestly not trying to make you feel bad, but you had just posted how he wouldn't take a bottle anymore that you were having problems with it so I was just saying that don't think it's that he's trying to be stubborn or manipulate to get what he wants..even though he took it at first, he hasn't for awhile and all he knows is his food and his comfort comes from you. Just that until you were able to get him taking the bottle like you needed him to I would try and keep him close because of things like that, he just doesn't understand what's going on with the bottle right now so it just makes him frustrated and not want to even try. Anyway, I was just trying to give you a different perspective that maybe it's not him being stubborn so you being far away isn't going to make him more likely to eat it you know? But I'm glad he's home now and ate good for you
