Operation Bottle!

Operation Bottle has commenced at our house! Henry has tolerated the bottle pretty well until today. He was not interested at all in the bottle for the entire 5 hours that I was gone. Karen felt horrible but Henry did eat some cereal for her. I am slightly concerned about what is going to happen tonight but I have fed him lots this afternoon to make up for the missed feeding. This makes me apprehensive because this exact thing happened with Evie too. Evie never took a bottle after five months but that is not going to work with Henry. We will keep working on this once or twice a day to help him get the hang of it. Carl is giving him a bottle right now and you'd think he had never seen a bottle before - that's Henry not Carl. I have lots of suggestions filed away on how to encourage a baby to take a bottle so it's time to go find those.

    let me know what works....laney STILL refuses!!! it is SO frustraing!!!
    she took a bottle her first few months, but since around month 4 or so, she has outright refused, no matter who is giving it to her or what kind of bottle it is. so she is my little sidekick everywhere i go.
    i was hoping once she started on babyfood she might be a little more prone to try a bottle again, but....no. :(
    libbi took one no problem (of course i was working then so she HAD to) and would nurse or drink pumped milk from a bottle with no problem so this refusal from laney is SO new to me!
