We Thought We Lost It FOREVER... *sad discovery*

[@carleymoore2932]

I’ve been watching since you guys were in your little apartment with only Ella. It’s so cool to see y’all with a third that’s crawling.

[@oliviaguzman2555]

Addy is growing up so fast and she’s so adorable 💗💕 I can’t believe she’s crawling and soon gonna be walking. Her little noises she was making were so cute 😂🤍

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Th it s Family is just so adorable. Loving and full of fun!

[@krisroche8163]

Try a sippy cup! When I took bottles away I introduced sippy cups with formula and it worked !

[@crystals7979]

Love your sweet family all 3 girls are awesome

[@Kittensarecuteable]

Omg Ben running to the front door gets me every time 😂😂😂

[@Oliviabeth19]

Try a regular kid cup with a straw for the milk!!! My niece wouldn’t ever take a bottle and my sister was in the same boat you are and she just tried a kid cup with a straw and she finally took it!

[@kathyhuffman960]

BEN AND KATIE I LOVE YOUR FAMILY THE GIRLS ARE SO PRECIOUS ADDIE IS GROWING UP TOO FAST TAKE CARE

[@LanLuv]

Katie, maybe try sippy cups or transitional straw sippy cups. Just to try, also offer it more often before especially before breastfeeding. So she relates it to feeds

[@marianmaclellan8123]

Hi Katie....I viewed a video of a Family with Triplets around Addies age...they (the babies) were in their separate cots...each had a bottle, a bottle with a difference...each bottle instead of a teat had a long soft tube with a pacifier on the end of it and the babies were happily feeding whilst sitting playing, thought it a Wonerful idea and thought you might try....❤XO

[@mirandawillie6909]

Hi guys I love watching your vlogs your girls have grown so much Addy is so adorable I can't believe that she is crawling already man kids grow up so fast I hope you guys are enjoying this cool weather well it is starting to get cold already which I wasn't ready for I hope you guys are having a wonderful day how are you guys?

[@hannahdancerrr7716]

Have you guys considered seeing a sleep specialist for addie? Or maybe even a food specialist for her to help her progress towards other foods and bottles

[@brileymitchell6347]

You should buy a timer for the trees in the girls room! You can set which times you want it to go on and off which could help, or get one with a remote. Love the videos!

[@dottiedowning1697]

I plug lights that have a plug behind dressers into remote plugs so I can turn them on and off with the remote. I use them for outside lights too. ( Home depot, Lowes, etc…..)

[@morganjackson163]

Avie eating the cookie dough! 😊❤

[@amanda.k13]

My son wouldn’t take a bottle for the longest time, but the thing that helped him was to wait to give him any food or breastfeed after his nap so he was for sure hungry. Then I held the bottle nipple up towards the roof of his mouth so when he closed his mouth it would squirt milk out. I did that once and then he would take a bottle right away after that.

[@karolineingebrigtsen7583]

Try heated almond milk instead of formula!!💕

[@itzsophie2126]

Love u guys

[@djjourney472]

Can I make a suggestion,even when she's crawling on the floor ,place a bottle of water,half full on the floor,sooner or later she will take it or you can add some baby cereal or applesauce to formula in bottle.she won't go hungry,you might be giving in too soon,,or try sippy cup,good luck ,and God bless

Adding anything to a bottle is unsafe and a choking hazard!

@@bellaproaps , I really hate the way people treat others in our world today. I am 69 years old and raised 2 sons and babysat 4 grandchildren and our Doctors told us to start feeding our babies cereal in formula at 6 weeks. Each month we started a new food by baby spoon. We came home from the hospital with instructions all, are alive and well. I don’t tell Katie how to feed her child, but rudest has no place in these comments. ‘ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’!

[@lizaanderson6331]

Try a straw sippy cup or just a straw in cup. My third disliked the bottles and the sippy cup and went straight for a straw.

[@angelblackwell974]

They make things that plug in tho the wall then you plug your tree into it and it had a remote to turn on and off or you could do a smart plug for the trees

[@n19mb19]

You can always use a light timer for the Christmas trees! You set the timer to turn in and off when you want and you never have to touch it again

[@krisheathman9053]

I suggest being serious about the bottle introduction. I think standing in the kitchen and handing her the bottle seems more like a game to her. And it seems it has become one. Sit down somewhere quiet and offer her the bottle. Feed her pureed baby food while she’s sitting in her high chair. Offer sippy cups during that time. She will get it, Katie, it’s just going to take a little while. Try not to give up so easily and quickly by putting her on your breast. How did Ella and Avrie make the transition? You are an amazing and inspiring momma. Remember that when you’re feeling discouraged. You are amazing ❣️ As difficult as it is, letting her cry it out is not a bad thing nor is it bad for her. She knows that you will pick her up every single time she cries. She’s got you trained.

[@taylorc9006]

I'm a baker and the first thing that I noticed while watching you make the cookie dough was the way you measured the flour. Most likely the dough is too dry because you added too much flour. I would suggest to spoon the flour into the measuring cup then level off with a knife afterwards, that's the most accurate way to measure flour without using a scale. When you measure the flour like you did, you are compacting the flour causing you to add more than you need, making the dough dry. The other thing that is really important is to chill the dough before you work with it, but not all recipes require that. I hope this information helps.

[@1121annika]

Here’s me still hoping you find your wedding ring one day 🥲

[@cheeriokeeper]

I’ve had dough do that. I added small amounts of water until it was smooth. Humidity, weather, flour can affect dough. Something like that….I’m exhausted already and it’s only December 2. 😂 🎄

[@lorifoster6777]

My grandson is the same way as Addie will food. He has gotten a bit better and Addie will too!

[@bellaproaps]

Milk is their main source of food till 1 so I wouldn’t be too worried!

Was really hoping this was you finding your wedding ring lol

[@susanevans8470]

Addy is growing into a beautiful baby, it is so hard when you've breast fed for so long and she won't take a bottle or even eat solid good must be extremely hard work and she doesn't sleep either it's strange how different out children can be. It's lovely how well the girls get on so well and play so well together too.

[@gabriellevedder82]

Happy vlogmas

[@annsanders2127]

I’ve always heard to rub breast milk on the dry patches or irritated skin and it will heal right up…. By the way I love y’all and enjoy watching ur videos ❤

[@beckykeast658]

Possibly try a sippy cup. You could take a picture with the shirt on Addy.

[@cellajones843]

Y’all should put the pink shirt on the girls every year for first day of school and see how they slowly grow into it!

We did blw with my breastfed boy, he only really started eating food at around 11 months and then became a human garbage disposal 😅, and even then he still loved breastmilk more than food!

[@takedownspecialist1767]

They make a push button light that you can plug in and all you have to do is hit the button. No having to move the dresser.

[@kyral.p]

Try skipping the bottle and go to a beginner sippy cup

[@kendralewis7944]

It's harder to get a baby to drink a bottle when mommy is around . She see uou and thinks why would i want. Bottle when you are right here too feed me. I think it will be alot easier to try a bottle when mommy isn't there. And she will eat if she is hungry enough. I'm not saying letting her go so long without eating but tey not to give in so soon. I went through this and it worked took about two weeks or a little less. Good luck

[@Anilevevd]

I’m in the same boat my 11month old barely eats food have off and on just breast milk and isn’t sleeping through the night 😅

Would give anything if I could have your old kitchenaid I'm disabled on a very limited income I can't use my hands to stir anything I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis they have destroyed my joints my fingers can't close into a fist anymore my right hand I have had carpal tunnel and tarsal tunnel surgery 2x the last time not only carpal tunnel surgery but had a ganglion cyst that went from the middle of my wrist all the way up the back of my hand they did a 3 inch incision up the back of my hand as well as a 2 inch scar up the back of my hand and a 6 inch scar up my elbow along the same scar I had surgery at 40 years ago but afterwards all the way up the whole back of my hand I have nerve damage it tingles whenever anything touches it I get constant swelling so I can't even use a portable hand mixer due to all that's wrong with my hands I miss baking for the past 10 years so if you do decide to get rid of your kitchenaid and you get a bigger one for Christmas it would be a dream come true if I could have one to finally be able to bake again or even make mashed potatoes again. Thanks for doing videos daily for us again I truly look forward to December so I can watch all you do. I broke my knee cap can't put any weight on, it in a brace have a wheelchair will be like this for 2-3 months so my days will be very long 😪 I already have a rod in my left hip from my hip to my knee not what I needed that's for sure

Goat's milk is the closest to human milk and tastes great. Baby formula does NOT. See if you can find a farm or health store in your area and give it a shot.

I'm wondering if there's something medically wrong? This is me with no mama experience. It's hard to get her to sleep, only wanting breast milk and not from the bottle. Always wanting to be held. Hmm 🤔 so I'm not sure if you should be talking to the pediatrician and demanding tests, or it's nothing but cranky, fussy baby.

[@patriciakeats1621]

My son was similar. Nothing wrong that I know of…he just didn’t know how to soothe himself and liked to breastfed to settle. Still didn’t sleep well but he grew up, and it’s just one of those things. Lol, he turns 21 next month lol.

So if you want to get her of your breast milk just put pepper or something she doesn't like on your boods and she will not like it and go to the bottle btw my mom told me this because I was just like Addie and only eat my mom's beast milk. And don't stop and so when I was four my mom stop me by doing this thing I tell you to do so I am just trying to help
