So, we all know babies are pre-programmed to drink milk. And whether *** fed or bottle fed, I never met a baby, whose mother said they just wouldn't suck from one or the other...
...except, apparently, according to my mother, me.
My mother says she was not able to feed me, but I refused to take milk from a bottle. At a WEEK old she was left with no choice but to try and drip feed me from a spoon. It was the only way to get anything into me. I also refused a dummy.
She had to wean me pretty damn quick, apparently. It's a wonder I am still alive. I am gob smacked by her tale. That just ain't normal.
I later had huge food problems through my school years, can't stand milk now and baby's dummies and bottle teats (if not clear plastic and super clean) still give me the ebee jeebies.
Anyone else got baby feeding tales which seem to defy what you'd expect to be hardwired into our early survival instincts?
