This story was called in by a Mrs. Gleiberman who had a newborn baby girl. When Mrs. Gleiberman had to return to work, she made arrangements to send the baby to daycare. But they said in order for them to accept her, the baby has to take a bottle nicely. The issue and problem was that her baby was NOT taking a bottle at all. She spoke to many friends, and one said try THIS type of bottle, and another said try THAT type of bottle. Mrs. Gleiberman tried every single type, but her baby was not taking to any of them. Other people suggested that the baby might be more comfortable if someone else – not the mother – would give the bottle. Mrs. Gleiberman tried having other people feed her baby, but to no avail. Nobody was able to get the baby to drink. “What do I do now?” she thought. “This feels so complicated. What a big issue! What a problem!” Then, she was listening to “A Life with Bitachon” – the Bitachon Hotline, and she heard that a person should never make anything into an issue or problem or label anything ‘complicated.’ Rather, a person should say that everything is easy – because for HaKadosh Boruch Hu it really is! For Hashem nothing is complicated; nothing is a big deal; nothing is hard. When a person does that, Hashem says, “If you realize everything is easy for Me, then I’ll make it easy for you.” Mrs. Gleiberman started saying (totally insincerely), “Wow, it’s so easy to get my baby to drink a bottle! My baby LOVES the bottle. It’s so easy, 1-2-3, no issues or problems; no big deal.” Then she tried bottle-feeding her baby, and she was amazed to see her baby drink it up smoothly and easily!
