This is how Ada feels about her bottle.



The first time we gave Ada a bottle, she didn't seem to even notice that it was any different from nursing. We celebrated this event and I especially was happy to know I could now leave her for short periods of time and know that someone else could feed her. We celebrated too early. Recently, our little Ada has resolutely refused to drink any milk from her bottle. So her poor father cares for a screaming and angry little girl one night a week while I work for a few hours. In an effort to get her to like her bottle, I have tried offering her the nipple of it  during the day, to see if she would get used to it and start to like it. Below is her reaction. Not good. Kevin spent a considerable amount of time at Walmart trying to find a different kind of bottle for her and we think we may have some success with this one.
