Well, I suppose I expected it but when it happens it's a slap in the face.
Phoebe woke @ 10:30, I waited to see if she'd settle again as she only went to bed @ 8:30. But no, she woke properly and was crying. So I went in and tried to give her a breastfeed but she turned away, screamed. We repeated the process a few times with a break in between, but she was just so unhappy. An unwelcome thought occurred to me... I went and prepared a bottle. She drank most of it and is now happily chatting away in her cot and will probably settle off to sleep in a minute.
I just knew that once I started her on bottles she'd give the boob away. I know it's possible for some kids to do both but in my heart I knew she wouldn't be one of them.
Sorry you are sick, Nay. Hope you're feeling better tomorrow. Gastro sucks. Get yourself some hydrolyte - it is the bomb. Tastes like crap but makes you feel tonnes better.
