We went back to the GI doctor today because Grant is still not enjoying his bottle. (Putting it mildly!) He switched his acid reflux medicine again (this is our 4th try). We still think it is mostly psychological.
This little game of "tricking" Grant into eating is getting tiring for Jim and me. I just tried for an hour switching back and forth between pacifier and then the bottle when I thought he was asleep, but he caught on every time and starting kicking and screaming when the milk hit his tongue. So, I gave up for now and just let him sleep, which means he'll wake up hungry and wide awake. Those are the hardest moments because there is nothing we can do. But, sometimes it is what I have to do to stay sane.
The GI doctor told us that we can start to try solids in 6 weeks and maybe Grant will like them better than the bottle. That would be awesome, but I honestly hope he gets over his bottle thing before then.
On a positive note, a wonderful friend of my mom's already made us a weighted blanket! I can't wait to try it out on Grant tonight.
