Betty is 10 months old today. Double digits. Holy smokes. Despite being 10 months old, she still wants to drink out of a bottle, and she wants us to hold the bottle for her. She can drink out of a sippy. Heck, she can drink out of a regular cup held by her own two hands. I've seen her do it. She just doesn't want to. And she'd rather starve than do something she doesn't want to do.
We had every intention of breastfeeding for a year, and when that idea went down in flames around month two we at least were going to make all her baby food from organic produce. Now we're just trying to get her interested in food, any food, any way we can. Today I put Kraft mac-n-cheese on her tray and implored her to eat it (she did not), and here I am letting her play with an apple in her nursery.
"She'd rathr starve than do something she doesn't want to."
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Who does that sound like?
