Most of the time the B could care less about food or water. She is very picky eater, preferring things like plastic and rocks instead of veggies and meat. However, the story dramatically changes when she hears us say Milk, or sees a bottle milk. She drops everything she's doing and behaves as if we have been starving her for weeks.

| Give me my milk! NOW!!!!!! |
The B continuously signs milk and claws at us to give her a bottle. When she is not appeased within 30 seconds, the B goes into full Red-Alert-Meltdown (RAM). Signs of RAM include:
- Screaming
- Hyperventilating
- Limb flailing
- Foot stomping
- Head shaking
- Full body quivering
- Head sweats
- Tears
- Snotty nose (usually follows tears)
As soon as the bottle of milk is injected into her sweaty hands, she relaxes, finds a place to crash out, and falls into a blank eyed stare.
I think she may have a milk dependency problem.
Do you or does your child have any food addictions?
i guess she takes after her aunt on the rock thing....sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteha! She ate a handful of sand at the park on Friday too. But I don't remember you doing that . . .
