I stole this blog title from a book by Rohinton Mistry. It's a good phrase to explain things with Lilah.
She finally finished the course of meds to get rid of the infection but her feedings have not improved. We have to be very careful not to push her with bottle feedings. On the flip side, she doesn't really give us clear cues she is done so we have to keep trying to give her the bottle even when she pushes it out of her mouth. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. What's even more strange is there are times when she will suck on her fingers like crazy after she has decided she is done with the bottle, which is one of her hunger cues.
It's difficult knowing she was taking 40-50mL feeds and is now back to 15-20. I can't wait to be past this trouble!
