Wow, I just have to write this now. Last night and this morning S got into the cradle position for her bottle. She has always been fed with her back to me. Her feeding has always been an issue, so we let her eat in whatever position was most comfortable for her. We did plenty of other things for bonding, and considering her size and eating habits, everyone agreed it was fine to feed her like this. It's only the past few months that she will allow to be held in the cradle position at all. Is this a big breakthrough because of therapy? It's too early to tell, but I'll take it for now. Any and all encouragement is welcome to keep us plugging along. Just another side note, when I pulll at her joints, she giggles. This must feel good to her, it's amazing how the body knows what's good for it even if we don't consciously know it.
Our second bottle was in baby position and we had almost 100% eye contact. I sang to her to keep her attention, and stopped everytime she looked away. Later in the morning, she dropped her toy and hurt herself and she let me comfort her for a long time.
