Yeah. Mika sucks her thumb. It's official.
At first i thought it was just when her
hand happened to go on her face and the
thumb just happened to be there but nope
now she looks for it and goes to sleep
during the day and at night sucking it, i
get woken up in the morning by her
sucking. Oh yeah and Mika officially HATES
bottles. I pumped my little heart out for
over an hour this morning to get 8oz for
her for when we were at hospital when i
had my MRI scan and she refused to take
it, we tried all day and she wouldn't take
it so i used two tablespoons of it to make
her rice and tipped almost 8oz of it down
the drain

You cannot give her a bottle. Someone else
will have to try to give her the bottle.
She associates you with the booby and will
refuse a bottle from you. Bottles are
completely different than boobs. Babies
know this and want what they are used to.
It can take a long time to get a breast
fed baby used to bottles.

I tried it and then figured that out, then
dom, tried, my mum and sister. Each day
i'm trying her with just a small amount
just incase one day for some reason she
needs it pumped
