After endlessly hearing horror stories of new parents who desperately tried to get their babies to take a bottle and had no luck we decided that we would have a trial run of Jamie substituting a bottle full of my milk to Paul's hungry tummy last night. The outcome - if it has anything to do with milk, be that it tastes or smells or even looks like it Paul is going to go to town on it. We are happy to report there was not even the tiniest fuss over having a silicone nipple nor was there any extra work when the real one was put back in front of him. And the kicker of the whole experience? After he had his bottle and settled in to be gently rocked to sleep he slept for 5 hours straight. Which meant that mom got 4 hours straight, uninterrupted. I feel like a new woman.
