Cow’s milk and other assorted beverages
I have somehow neglected to mention that Stella is now enjoying dairy. Holy cow! Yep, it appears that Stella has outgrown her cow’s milk protein intolerance. Or, who knows, maybe she never had it and something else in my milk … Continue reading

Please no.
Stella has been getting more and more difficult around eating again and I am starting to freak out about it. She is starting to refuse the bottle more and more. She doesn’t want to eat upon waking up after sleeping … Continue reading

A freakout. A rant. And endless gratitude.
Early this afternoon, Stella got upset and took only 100 mls from the bottle. It was really weird. All my fears and worries came rushing back. Granted, she took around 180 before and after that. But what a scare. I … Continue reading

Toes company
Stella would be very happy if left naked and able to nibble on her toes all day long. That’s right. Today, she finally, after many past efforts, put her foot in her mouth, and chomped on her big toe. And … Continue reading
A “grand” day
Today, Stella enjoyed 1000 mls from the bottle. It’s our family’s equivalent of breaking the sound barrier, or walking on the moon. It’s historic and worthy of endless news coverage. I just fed her. It’s such a lovely, peaceful, fulfilling, … Continue reading

Days 22 through 25: Stella got her groove back
As Stella’s occupational therapist put it, “Stella has internalized the joy of eating.” Her feeding aversion is, well, history. A memory. Though not a distant memory, of course. We still get nervous if she goes for a long stretch without … Continue reading

Days 18, 19 and 20: Stella turns a corner!
I love Christmas. A tree is a must, of course. In fact, a Christmas tree really has to be at least six feet tall for it to feel right to me. I’ve been collecting ornaments for years and love every one of them. Now … Continue reading

Days 16 and 17: Sweet, sweet progress!
Today, Stella had 700 mls, which makes it a great day. It’s all part of her overall upward trend in bottle feeding. I’m excited report is that Stella is no longer swaddled. At all. She is not swaddled when she … Continue reading

Day 15: Ugh.
Today was tough. It’s almost 11pm and her tally is 530mls. She is resisting the bottle. She’ll act like she wants to eat, latch onto the bottle, then quickly pull away from it, and repeat that sequence several times until … Continue reading
