Would you be firm about this?
So this is about my new bf infant who struggles with bottle feed and mom is, um, less than accurate in her communication.
Baby has begun sleeping better thru the night and he sleeps well for me. This morning mom told me that he woke up at 7:45 but didn't seem interested in feeding. She dropped off at about 8:10 or so. She also said she didn't have time to fill out his log book.
So I tried to feed him just now, since I didn't know if he was hungry or not, but since he is also not great at bottle feeding, I didn't know if he was fighting me because he was having a bad day on the bottle or if he wasn't hungry.
He also doesn't love his pacifier, which has been obvious to me from day one, and which mom finally admitted yesterday after having previously done a big "the lambie pacifier is his favorite so that's the one we'll pack for you" routine the first week.
So right now he's crying in his bouncy chair, not tired, I'm not sure if he's hungry, and I need to get a couple of things done.
So I'm left wondering if he was truly "not interested" in food this morning or was mom just anxious to drop off?
I'm willing to help families...but not really knowing anything and not being able to believe mom is pretty bad. I'm wondering if I should say that he needs to have been fed before drop off and the log book needs to be filled out no matter what. But then...mom is perfectly capable of saying that he ate when he didn't, so I don't know if I can go there.
