He would nurse but would not take the bottle or swallow any solids because it hurt him. You could be right in saying that his ears are still not clear. Anyway, goodluck with this. I know that this is something that is normally difficult for our kids anyway. As a matter of fact, my post today is about our experience with this.JaybirdNWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04060290229870774955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-75093664451848556412009-02-12T22:03:00.000-08:002009-02-12T22:03:00.000-08:00gosh, I so feel your pain.

So, maybe it was just a passing thing. We'll see how it goes today.

I know I ...I am sorry to hear of your frustrations! I know I was frustrated at times with Whitney when she just would not latch onto the bottle (we had to give up nursing when she was 2 weeks old and in the hospital and too weak to eat - the Drs insisted that I pump and we give her milk through a bottle and then when she wasn't taking enough by bottle, an NG tube)... it was hard to keep trying time after time and not have success - but now at 5 1/2 months old she has been taking a bottle like a champ for the past 3 1/2 weeks and all of the hard work has paid off. I know you will have the same success --- I would say go with what you think is going on... maybe you are onto something with the ear infection/antibiotic suspicion? Or maybe it is what some of the other parents said... he might not like the taste/texture, maybe reflux, maybe showing independence??? It is a guessing game, but usually the mom can figure it out!!! :) Good luck!!!Anne and Whitney: Up, Down and All Aroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206805918442920595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-77641331316376938642009-02-11T11:36:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:36:00.000-08:00Definitely could be teething or congestion. Or he...Definitely could be teething or congestion. Or he just doesn't like the taste....Brennan refuses green veggies - so I add a little applesauce. The only other thing I can think of is reflux....I know kids will sometimes refuse foods if they have a bad association - like that related to reflux. Just something to consider. Otherwise, he may just be voicing his opinion and pushing your buttons at the same time.....ahh, the guessing game of motherhood continues!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574042485403799310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-79984102107301100042009-02-11T10:51:00.000-08:002009-02-11T10:51:00.000-08:00My son isn't much older than yours and he too has ...My son isn't much older than yours and he too has Ds - when he does what your describing here it's because he doesn't want to eat what I'm feeding him. If I give him oatmeal but he doesn't want it he will spit it out or let it drip down. So, I'll make him eggs - problem solved. I go back to oatmeal the next day. Try it. This may just his way of communicating with you.Michael's Loving Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495958107869694990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-50534132187721795272009-02-11T10:30:00.000-08:002009-02-11T10:30:00.000-08:00Eventually!

You're right though, he's so darn cute, so I'm sure looking at him making those messes still brings a smile to your face!<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, it's not regression and just a residual from the ear infection.The Hapa Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833292317486709616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-755184336117015044.post-46505817367315715572009-02-11T10:16:00.000-08:002009-02-11T10:16:00.000-08:00Being a mom is like being a detective...but withou...Being a mom is like being a detective...but without any training... ;)<BR/>I know you're not a 'new' mom like me, but I find that trying to figure what's going on is like multiple choice, but without the answer at the end...<BR/>I hope that things start getting better with the solids!Loren Stowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029794638872184342noreply@blogger.com
