YAY!! sorry i'm so relieved just had to come on to make a post. After a week of dodgy breast feeding and bottle refusal, Willa has FINALLY TAKEN A BOTTLE.

I'm such a silly mummy but after she did it I was thanking God and the universe and everyone in it haha. I'm too tired to do happy dance so will settle for a happy post.

No idea what clicked with her but i guess the hunger and fatigue finally won out and after chewing on the teat and refusing it for 10 mins, she had a suck and that was it. I couldn't have pried it out of her mouth after that. Previously I rang up MIL and asked what on earth she did to the bottle to make Willa take it and she said she warmed it up more than what was recommended. I did the same. Maybe that's the trick. Hopefully, we can make it happen again.

Also, the crankiness from the immunisations yesterday would have helped I think. KirstenF, Laura was the same as Willa. It was actually a little scary. I put her to bed at 7pm as per usual and she woke way too early at 10.40pm with a very strange cry and she was grunting and squirming and looked like she felt awful. No temp tho, until about 5am when she had a low fever, so gave her panadol and she slept until her usual wake up at 7am. No 10 hr sleeps for us, no matter what the situation, it seems. Just as well tho cos I'm trying to keep up my bb supply overnight.

so yep, good news on my end. am glad all our bubs are doing a-ok.
