babysitting 7month old help.

Quoting Smokey_Taboo:" ok im typing with one finger here so bear with me. im watching a friends baby while she was a 15 course ... [snip!] ... she starts rooting kinda i offer the bottle, a baby puff or a her fingers. any other tips to help her take bm in the bottle?"

Quoting JessieLeeAnne:" Do you have a medicine cup? Or a medicine syringe? You can try cup feeding her bm."

Quoting Jennybananna:" Hold her really close to your chest and try that. If not you can try a syringe or dropper. Maybe even a spoon with small sips."

Quoting Smokey_Taboo:" she is what we have been doing. when she wasnt in the ergo she was pressing herself so hard against ... [snip!] ... it back on.. so ive just been in rhe ergo with my arms wrapped around her, and when i have tired to feed her its been in here."

Quoting Jennybananna:" If its something you are comfortable with and the mother would be too. Take your shirt off and try some ... [snip!] ... off and try some skin to skin while feeding. She will most likely just drink enough to keep her happy instead of a full meal."

Quoting Smokey_Taboo:" ok i will keep that in mind, she does like boobs and her widdle face is pressed against me now, they ... [snip!] ... i think it take 45mins to a hr to get home. Im hoping she will just sleep in the ergo the rest of time. damn i gotta pee.... "

Quoting Smokey_Taboo:" no but her tomee tipee has a lid i can use?"

Yes... I think so... even a spoon would work.

Just do small amounts at a time Ive attached a video. It's of a newb, but same concept. I had to do it to LO when he wouldnt latch. Im sure a 7 month old could do it as well.

Quoting TheCoopersKnitWitch:" My MIL will snuggle the kids really close to her breast, and then sneak the bottle inbetween and both MAC and my niece would fall for it every time."

Quoting Smokey_Taboo:" she is sleeping now ans sill hasnt eaten i will give that a try. thanks., I do think she was done really well for a ebf baby  "

Quoting TheCoopersKnitWitch:" My niece apparently was the worst. And then when she got left overnight my MIL just freaked out. ... [snip!] ... grandma, and then snuck the bottle in. It was funny to watch her do it. Wasn't creepy at all like I just typed it out. LOL"

Quoting Smokey_Taboo:" haaha yea it was even weird reading it i keep thinking about old grandma boobs with liver spots on them.. I guess they are on there way back now so hopefully she just sleeps for another hr.. "
