The Runt in question

I thought those of you who have heard my lament about my poor starving child, would like to see the little pea. This was just taken today. I've only managed to get about 3 ounces of formula in her in about 4 days. Does she look fatter, yet? Didn't think so. But, I love her nontheless. Lots and lots, so much it kinda hurts right now.

At least she'll always be well protected.

Love the "well protected" picture!
Have you tried using different brands of bottles? Boo preferred Avent to anything else - she'd gag on the thinner nipples. I have some other bottles if you want to try them out.

She's a cute little runt! None of my boys would take bottles so I tried sippy cups when they were around 3-4 months and they loved those.

I didn't know you were having such struggles with your cute little Ruby. I'm sorry you are so exhausted . She is 4 months now, you could start her on solids. That may help plump her up too. Ali wouldn't take a bottle either and I had blisters (yeah, painful) so I was weaning her either way. I tried every bottle and formula out there. The thing that worked best was dad feeding her. She didn't expect breast milk from him, so she was more willing to let him feed her a bottle. Good luck!
