After almost 7 months of trying, Elliott FINALLY took a bottle (of pumped milk) this morning. While it was only 2 oz, it was the first time ever that he actually sucked on the bottle like a normal baby and didn't just bite it. He drank those 2 oz in less than 5 minutes. That has NEVER HAPPENED.
I can hardly contain my excitement!!!!!!
I think he would have actually drank more, but I stopped him because I didn't want to overdo it. I will be trying the bottle again with the rest of the milk in the morning. Let's hope it wasn't a fluke.
Xavier and Wes find it very peculiar to see Elliott with a bottle. It's funny because they don't even notice me nursing multiple times a day, but seeing a bottle is such a rare thing in this house that they were on high alert this morning asking me what I was doing.
Could it be that I might get to go out for a whole evening sometime in the near future?
