Anyone I've talked to recently has probably heard an earful about Charlotte and the bottle. This issue is driving me insane! We tried a bottle with Charlotte when she was three weeks old. It went okay. She took a bottle a few more times, though she took less milk, then only took it with a fight, then not at all. So when she was about six weeks she just wouldn't take it at all.
It wouldn't be a big deal if I weren't going back to work, but seriously, what will the child eat? So we've tried every bottle and nipple on the market. We used gerber, nuk, mam, soothie, dr. brown...I even tried the "breast bottle"...yep, it actually looks like a boob. Then last Saturday we had success! Dave used the brown playtex type and she took it in the morning and then another in the afternoon. yea!
Then Sunday we went to Muskegon and were on the road and didn't give her a bottle. So we tried again Monday- No way. Tuesday- No way. Wednesday- No way.
I've had it! So much anxiety from this!!I am so worried about when I go back to work in three weeks what she'll do...I guess we'll just try every day. I have some hope since she took it out of the blue on Saturday, but I don't know what the trick is to get her to take one from day to day. Boo hoo.
