After several unsuccessful weeks of trying to get Bug taking a bottle again, hours of research and reading, advise from a few experts, a variety of bottles a nipples, and even a shopping trip for sippy cups, he did it. Bug took a bottle without even a tear.
The catch is I have to be gone from the house, for several hours. Damn, he's cute and smart, and it's good to know he won't starve when I'm away.
Next up: Getting him to take the bottle from me, the lady with the boob. Don't know if I am up for the challenge until he's back to his longer sleep patterns, but the research begins.

Yay! I was wondering how Charlie's day with Bug went...
Smart lil cookie!
Do you know he took that bottle like it was nothing, as though he had been doing it all along?!? I suppose he won't take it if I am in the house, even if I'm upstairs, because he knows he has seen/hear/smelled me just moments ago and the breast is still available. Who knows.
Emily would never take the bottle. She went straight from nursing to a straw cup and then to regular cup right after. She wouldn't even take a sippy cup, ever.
Both of my kids have been fine with a bottle as long as I was nowhere near them. Kids will always favor the boob, and they can smell you!
