Eating
We are truly having challenges feeding with the bottle. It's becoming a real battle to the point where I am almost ready to give up. One night she simply refused to drink anything. So the next day I tried to feed her in the morning thinking if she was hungry enough she would drink... But I was wrong. I kept trying to offer her the bottle instead of nursing and she would cry and cry. It got to a point where she even refused to nurse after that. I think it was too traumatising. She went almost 8 hours without a feed. I started to panic.
And after that for the next 2 days she was very reluctant to nurse...I had to wait till she was drowsy or asleep to get her to feed or else every time I put her to a nursing position she would starting crying and arching her back. So for now bottle feeding is taking a back seat. Jing did manage to feed her by cup on one of the nights but after that she's also refusing that as well....sigh.
I also notice that she is starting to get distracted while feeding. When she's hungry she will feed but after a few minutes, she will latch off if there's any sound that distracts her.
Sleeping
If she's really tired she can continue sleeping in her car seat...but not for long I think. She seems to stir whenever I move the seat in or out of the car.
She's also starting to move around quite a bit when she sleeps. I think I'm gonna have to stop swaddling her soon (we usually leave both arms out).
Teething
As hard as it is to believe, I think Misha is starting to teeth. She is constantly chewing on her fingers and drooling heaps. It might also explain why she is refusing the bottle....
Personality
Misha is a really happy baby. She will smile (and laugh) quite easily. I notice she is especially jovial just before she gets sleepy. Like the calm before the storm. One minute she'll be laughing and you'll be enjoying the moment and the very next second she is wailing cos she wants to sleep! It's what I now refer to as the 'dangerous smile'.
