NAM :(

We met with Cooper's pediatric orthodontist May 28th for his NAM appliance to be put in. Surprisingly Cooper did amazing the entire morning, being pried at and poked with the retainer-like mouthpiece. After 2+ hours of not feeding we figured he'd be the grumpiest little boy on earth, but the "pretty" lights in the office captivated him enough to deter his attention off what we were really there for. The doctor was beyond impressed with how well Coop took the the piece, saying most babies freak out over it and have a hard time feeding. Not this case. He ate there at the office with a new bottle. Previously he was using the Haberman Feeder, to this day he is using the Mead Johnson Nurser and doing very well. We were back in the car on our way home, and before we left the parking lot, his mood shifted once he realized what the heck was just put in his mouth and screamed the ENTIRE way home. We enjoyed the lovely 2 hours of pure screams coming from such a little being. Bad on our part, he was having paci withdrawals. He wasn't able to use it anymore due to the "button" sticking out of the NAM. This was JUST THE BEGINNING!
