I went to the pediatrician today for Abigail's 4 month check-up. We have been worried about her on the days I work as she has refused the bottle up until now. She will take maybe 2 oz a day from a spoon or a cup with much coaxing (and then nurse all night when I return). Believe me when I say we have tried everything. My nanny is great, she has been trying, too.
Today we learned that she is gaining weight, but not enough. My doctor told me that I either need to stop working or figure out a way to feed her on my work days (i.e. bring her to work). I spoke with my boss, who is AMAZING and incredibly flexible. She is willing to let me try bringing her to work. So...we're going to give it a try starting tomorrow and Wednesday. For those of you readers who pray, please pray. Pray that she will eventually learn to take a bottle and that we can figure this out. Also, pray that she will sleep at my workplace. She will have her own room (my office) which is quiet. I'm not quite sure how I am going to get any work done...I'm SO BLESSED to have such an amazing boss.
