Julian is going to be 4 months old in 10 days but he hasn't successfully drank from a bottle yet. He kinda did it one time with my mother in law but that was about a month or so ago and we haven't tried it since until yesterday. I had a baby shower to go to and I knew it would be about 3 hours so I left her with a bottle of my milk (AKA Liquid Gold) and when I came home, he looked like he was in a trance and my MIL said he wouldn't take the bottle. So I had two different bottle nipples to try but neither one did the trick. Then I kept trying every once in a while, little by little to see if he could get used to it. Then, I had to throw away the liquid gold and start again today since I don't think you can put it in the fridge again after heating it up only to heat it up again later. I tried again today and it's a no go. Dani made a good point....it's just a few months before he starts on a sippy cup and it's not like I'm really going to leave him for that long anyway, I may as well just skip the bottle and go right to the sippy. I mean, why bottle train him when it may be 3 times at the MOST (if that) that I would even need it in the next few months. Matthew never took a bottle and he started using a sippy cup around the 6 month mark. He was playing around with it and drinking a little even at 5 1/2 months. I think we're just going to leave it at that.
On another note, Julian slept until 7am this morning and Matthew until almost 8am, yay!
