OK. Jack will not eat his "milk and cookies." Do you know how this devastates his mother? NJ. He just stiffens up and turns his head. So, I tried a bottle. No go. WHAT AM I TO DO? This has been such a precious thing for me, in caring for both of my children, and I just am not ready for him to be so "Mommy-free."

Will gave it up earlier than I wanted. I just wanted it to be on my timetable, so I could say goodbye to that stage. But it seemed like he just woke up one day and said no thanks mom. That is so hard. I'm sorry.
David went through a similar stage. He didn't nurse much and DID NOT want a bottle or a cup. I just kept offering and soon he was back to nursing. Then when I thought it was time to take a bottle or cup or anything else, he decided NO WAY! Eventually, we both agreed and now he is guzzling bottles like crazy. Now that he is one, I am planning on the switch from formula to milk. I just haven't taken that task on yet! Good luck!
Gabe went thru that...but thankfully it was a short phase. I was very persisent though because i was NOT ready to give up. So, hang in there and keep trying...somehow my mind thinks there's no way a baby would ever deny his mama's feedings...that these phases are just a part of them learning new things and getting older. (and getting so-called independent...ha!)why do they sometimes forget we are the parent?!?!??!
