I want my bottle... NOW!

[Xavier]

My son started on formula quite early.
Just like all baby's... when he's hungry, he lets you know.
If you are not ready with the bottle however... watch out.
He starts off with a few cries & whining ... but if the bottle
is not served within what he considers to be a reasonable time
frame... he will loose his mind.
I can't even describe what the mere sight or accidental
unplugging of his bottle will do. (the exorcist comes to mind)

During our last appointment with his pediatrician, we informed
her that we had just started giving him cereal. She said that
was fine... we could also move on to veggies, fruits & meat pure.
(in that order) She made a point of saying how important it was to
give him his bottle BEFORE his meal... which my son agreed with
whole heartedly.

WELL... my wife came back from the pediatrician on Friday
(I was at the garage with the car... I'm not shirking my duties)
It appears that this "QUACK" is telling us that our son must now
eat his meal BEFORE his bottle.


My son... for some reason... does not agree.

Is there anyway to... avoid a crisis on a planetary scale?

I always give Hannah her bottle first, solids seconds. Milk should still be their primary source of nutrition, with solids as a supplement (from what I've been told).

So what you're all saying is that ... GASP! I should go against the Pediatrician's orders.!!?? This all sounds very revolutionary to me.

 

[Serene123]

Yes, that's what we're saying!

 

[Xavier]

Well alright then... I'm sure you all now best...
I'm just wondering how my wife is going to react when I say
"the internet said so... that's who!"

It's cold outside.

If he wants his bottle first, give him his bottle first. He knows what he needs!
