Drinking from the Bottle!!

Today Xander actually had a meal from the bottle! We had tried to feed him this way a few other times in the last couple weeks with no success. Apparently, changing the nipple to a faster "speed" was the way to go. We were so excited that we took a picture : )

Hopefully this won't hinder his awesome ability to eat with Sarah. We prolly won't be feeding him bottle style too often, just enough to give him some practice for when Sarah goes back to work.

  4. Hey, actually this is perfect timing. The experts say that introducing a bottle too early is bad, but it should be introduced by about 5 weeks or the baby will not take to the bottle well. So... EXCELLENT! If you keep switching back and forth, he should be fine eating from both. A lot of kids end up nursing just for the emotional comfort of it for a long time, even if their primary food is in a bottle or as it becomes solid food.

    Anyway, great job! It always takes some experimenting to get the right nipple for the baby.
