Since Elise hit 3 weeks and is a good breastfeeder and nipple confusion won't be an issue and the hubster started going back to work, I wanted to introduce the bottle so that the hubster could get some baby time when he got off work and to prepare her for when I go back to work.
We have had no luck with Elise taking a pacifier, I thought that taking a bottle would be just as difficult. I had read article after article and forum post after forum post to figure out how you deal with this. We had registered for Comotomo bottles because the nipple are the closest to a real breast, but I wasn't sure if that would work for Elise. I had read that people tried 10 nipples to get their babies to take a bottle. I had already added different nipples and bottles to my Amazon wish list just in case.
Well, tonight, Elise took the bottle with no problem and drained down 1 ounce of my breastmilk. As relieved as I was, I was also really sad. She didn't need mommy anymore. I was so sad that I even held her to sleep and didn't complain about it once. My little baby is already growing up.
All I have to say is that Elise is already exceeding expectations in many aspects. I'm such a proud Tiger mom!
