now.. Calyce milk strike is getting worse.. till i am suspecting is it just milk strike? She doesnt seems to be hungry at all.. Currently we have to sleep feed her everytime and not all times are successful, at times she will sense the milk and cry for her pacifier.. at times she will drink up everything in her sleep. It is getting too difficult to feed her nowadays. We have to try all ways and means, try every 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours to feed. I am getting stress and fedup altogether. I wonder how can a baby go without milk for 12 hours? i don't know what causes this. But it seems to start after i got back to work. She will stop drinking milk altogether. Sometimes, she will cry for milk when she is really very very hungry i think, but it is so very rare that she does that. And at times that she doesnt sleep at all, it is almost impossible to get any milk down her throat. First she will struggle and cry and then when she failed in all attempts she will just open her mouth wide, look at you and refuse to suck on the teat or she will use her tongue to play around with the teat. When that happens, it is not possible to get her to drink anymore..and we just have to give in and give up..
At coming to 4 months now, Calyce is only drinking less than 700ml per day, sometimes even 500ml only and at times even lesser when she puts up a very strong fight against feeding. I used to think that Cepheus is already very jialat as he rejects milk since young too but that is after he started on solid. Calyce is totally different she rejects milk starting from 3 months and the situation is getting worse. Her weight gain in pathetic and the more i see and carry her the more light i felt she is everyday.. i couldnt describe my stress and fear in any words now.
Calyce used to drink alot, at 2 months she is already drinking 120ml and she will always cry for milk, she will always wake up in the middle of the night for feed but after i went back to work, i trained her somehow to not have anymore night feeds, i will feed her at 12 to 1am and then wake up to feed her again between 5-6am. At times when she start to whine in the middle of the night, i will just pop her pacifier into her mouth and she will return to sleep. Not sure if this is the reason that she starts to hate milk and stop drinking it altogether. From a baby who loves to drink milk so much (almost like an alarm clock who will ring every 3 hours sharply), she have turned into a baby who hated milk so much that she will start to frown upon seeing the milk bottle.. i really don't know what to say, maybe i will really need to start on semi solid for her earlier than usual...
