She's...Xaris just hit 20 lbs, and she's 2. She's always been a good eater, just underweight for about a year or so now. All kids are different, and since her pediatrician isn't worried, I'm not either. If it's obvious that Charlie's making developmental milestones for her age, then she is growing and getting at least what she needs--but I can understand the desire to make sure she is getting enough!Caliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099834789335012725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432984513466252161.post-36279478110740955972011-06-04T06:39:11.740-07:002011-06-04T06:39:11.740-07:00Poor mama! Not stressful at all- right? Well this ...Poor mama! Not stressful at all- right? Well this hasn't exactly happened to me so take my advice with a grain of salt. <br /><br />If I were struggling with this I think I would give it a couple days (yes it would help if you can have someone else try to give her the bottle). As long as she is healthy and there is nothing else wrong here other than her fighting it, that she will eventually get hungry enough and come around although there might be a little hunger and a few missed meals depending on her stubbornness. If you are really nervous then make an appointment and talk to her pediatrician (especially if you are concerned because she might even lose a little weight over this one).<br /><br />Above all- Don't feel bad! It's not your fault you aren't producing enough milk!!! God has a plan for your family and obviously it involves this new baby and thus this little struggle you are facing right now. Plus, as far as Charlie goes it's not really a power struggle like bedtimes might be- you don't have a choice! <br /><br />(Also about her tummy looking empty vs.full- both my kiddos were pretty little things- 13 and 14lbs at 6 months and barely squeaking up to 20lb after their one year....anyways sometimes their tummy's looked thin and then they would eat and look like they were ill proportioned with HUGE stomachs, so if she is tiny that just might be more obvious to you like my kids. They are both EXTREMELY healthy btw.) ;) Hope any of this helps! :) Annie WyattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432984513466252161.post-71060086061582234992011-06-02T16:31:24.929-07:002011-06-02T16:31:24.929-07:00So sorry you are having to deal with this! You mig...So sorry you are having to deal with this! You might think that having weaned three babies I would have great advice. Not so. Shane was 18 and we just found out we were pregnant with #2 so Travis sent me away for a weekend (to your wedding in fact) and had his mom come out and help him. They were miserable, I was sore and miserable, but it worked, but ended up loosing the baby a few months later. Kaylie weaned herself at 12 months. Hannah was 18 months and Travis once again sent me away for the weekend. Same experience as Shane but it works. We are all miserable for a few days, but then it is over and done with. But as you can see, all my babies have been older than Charlie. Ashlyn is still nursing. Praying that you are able to find a solution that works for all of you! <br />Kristen HickmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
