PLEASE HELP🥲

I think you have to do what feels right to you and if you think it’s too soon to leave, then don’t. Just explain that your baby genuinely does need you and you’ve been trying your best to make the weekend happen but are too uneasy about leaving her with the possibility she may not feed. I’m having the opposite issue right now, my baby will not latch on the breast when I need him to and only accepts the bottle ): Also, there are articles explaining why the cry it out method is unhealthy for babies this age and can cause psychological damages ): So as much as you don’t want to interfere it may be in your babies best interest. At this age, they’re not crying wolf. They genuinely do need something from you whether it is more food than you think, a burp, gas, physical reassurance (being held), emotional support. Your body, and heart beat is what regulates their nervous systems. All of this can be part of your explanation to your family if they’re giving you a hard time ❤️

Don’t feel bad if you need to sit this one out, your baby needs you more than your sister I assure you.

I agree with what everyone above says, but also never let a 2 month old baby cry it out 😔 they need lots or comfort and reassurance at this age. Why does your partner do this? Maybe you need to talk to him and tell him why it's important not to let a newborn baby cry it out

Your sister will be 21 the whole year and has the executive function to emotionally recover from you having to prioritize your baby (hopefully). Make special plans with your sister to make it up to her! A weekend just for her so she kind of gets 2 birthdays!! I agree with everyone else regarding newborns, especially preemies, and CIO. That is their ONLY way to communicate. Ask your partner to imagine he can’t walk, talk, use his hands, or see well and the feeling of pain and discomfort are brand new then the only people that can help you ignore you. You can’t spoil a newborn!

What nipple flow is on the bottle? It may be too fast for her. Breastfed babies are suggested to be on the slowest flow to mimic the boob. I have my LO on the Dr browns premier nipple. Just a thought on a possibility of why she is refusing.
