That's been a PITA. Have tried several and she generally wants someone to hold it for her except at night when she's reclining. We're now using the Playtex (stage 1, I think) and she seems to like it best. Avents leak and she didn't like the Nuby at all. [ Reply | More ]

I tend to find that when mom is calm and happy so is baby. put db down for a min. (safely in crib or something) and make a cup of tea - take a few deep breaths, figure out how to get through things together. Maybe db is not good at transitions - try taking about what you are doing before doing it, singing songs to move from one activity to another. Maybe you two just need to dance around the living room for a bit. That usually cures everything. [ Reply | More ]
