Baby is *refusing* to breastfeed, preferring instead to smack down formula to the tune of six ounces at a time. Attempts to put my nipple in his mouth results in screaming the likes of which haven't been heard since those U.S.-founded secret Eastern European prisons were still secret. K sent me a lovely nursing shirt today, and I don't know that I'll ever be able to use it to it's proper ability. Alexander is six weeks old today, which means that he might be almost over his growth spurt and will calm down enough to nurse again, or it could mean that we're stuck offering offerings to the formula devils.
Rhetorical question for the New Year: What do you do when your baby's being an asshole?
re: your rhetorical question (which of course, doesn't need to be answered)…personally, I put him to bed, and if he really pisses me off, I turn off the monitor. Amazing what 15 minutes can do for your state of mind.
BTW–I'm wondering if you're having nipple confusion issues, in that, perhaps, you don't let down as quickly as A would like…since it isn't as fast as a bottle. Perhaps you've got an impatient baby?
