Ariel rejection on milk (both bottle and cup)

Since the last post, there was no improvement but to make the matter worst, she even rejected breastmilk via bottle. AL had not been taking any milk when Mummy at work. She even started to reject yogurt and cheese.

JL tried to eat and feed with her but to no result. JL even tried to share his Enfakid and UHT Box milk with AL also failed. JL somehow knew AL was not taking enough milk that he tried to help up too.

We tried changing bottle, changing milk powders twice and introduce spout and cup. All ended up with failure. We lost all the battle with AL.

The only source of milk for AL for the past few weeks was direct breastmilk at night time and morning before work. The rest of the day would be solid food.

One thing we realize was AL liked cold food like jelly and ice-cream but she didn’t like cold yogurt and cheese.

AL had a fussy taste bud unlike JL. Many weeks ago, PohPoh tried to mix less than ¼ of teaspoon of Enfagrow with 2 oz of breastmilk; AL managed to detect the difference and gave back the bottle to PohPoh. That was to proof how sensitive is her taste bud. As for now, whether it was milk powder or breastmilk in the bottle/cup, she would shake her head, turn her back away and actually ran away as long as it was white colour.

Mummy was tempted to try to make jelly milk. Besides that also to let her try chilled fresh milk which might not be too strong milk smell as milk powder? This would be the last two choices to try next year 2010. Mummy really hoped it would works. Some Mummy comforted Mummy that it was a good thing she didn’t reject when she was below one year old and only recently, so there would be more options and ways to introduce the milk back. Mummy really really hoped so…

Mummy needed to take a break from this stress, maybe just a simple relaxing at home with nice cold drink watching movie on led hdtv peacefully. It was not a high demand, right?

At least she is taking solids which is good. Mine is on a hunger strike! What's with these July babies huh??

mommy to chumsy said...

yes..at least she's taking solid. Ashley rejected milk when she was 8 mths old. i had to spoonfeed her. Probably it's just phase for Ariel. Perhaps you could cook some solid food and incorporate the milk into it? Hang in there, mommy :)

Try fruit milk shake. Just blend the milk with ice and her favourite fruits. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you can let her try chocolate flavoured milk. Also try using a straw cup. Be patient & good luck.
