Edy Takes the Bottle

So Edy was drinking from the bottle when she was about 1 1/2 months, and I was feeding her about 2-3 times per week from it. Well, things changed, and I missed about a week, and ever since, she has refused to eat from the bottle. She would task the bottle in her mouth, roll it around, but wouldn't actually eat anything. I though she had forgotten how.

So today Edy last ate at about 2:30, and she only had napped about 2 hours total since 8:AM this morning. It was 6:20 and NewMom was late getting back from work to breastfeed before bedtime. I had given up on even trying the bottle, but NewMom suggested I try it when I called to complain for coming home late.

So I heated up a little bit, expecting her to basically ignore it as usual, but instead she opened wide and gulped it down. I refilled the bottle with the rest of what we had (about 5 oz total) and she downed the whole thing. She finished up just as NewMom arrived home. After an impressive burp, she was out within 5 minutes of finishing.

I don't know if she will take it again, but I'm sure going to try again tomorrow.

By the way, she was such a champ today. I carted her around all day, she had very little time napping, yet she rarely cried all day. I think I have the best kid ever.
