Force feeding

Sophia has been trying to get Heidi to drink formula for the last 2 nights. But Heidi is a stuborn and feisty baby. First night she cried for an hour before Sophia gave up. Second night was worse. 2 hours before Heidi finally stopped and realised that the milk isn't that bad and she drank some of it.

It's not that formula is new to her. We have been slowly transitting her by asking the teachers to supplement EBM with formula in school. They don't seem to have major problem feeding her in school.

But at home, she would cry, scream, kick, wiggle, shake her head violently, and cry some more.

Tonight, we decided to give her and ourselves a break from the force feeding treatment. Sophia could sleep slightly earlier and I could blog.
