THE BOTTLE UPDATE

After twelve hours of Ellaiden refusing the bottle she finally decided that she would take it. This is after my grandmother came over and said "poor poor thing" (and she was serious) about a thousand times. Ellaiden looked over at her, gave her a big grin and then started sucking. This was the terrible "breastbottle" that leaks and is a real pain to use. The next feeding time she drank some more and then went to sleep. At 1 am she woke up and refused to eat. After an hour of getting her back to sleep she actually stayed that way until 5:30 this morning. I went to her bed and she looked up at me and smiled real big so I picked her up and we went downstairs. She sat in her chair beside papaw and watched the stock reports and drank her old school bottle down to nothing like she used to do before her strike. Since then she has been sucking it down. So, now my 5 month old is drinking out of the same preemie bottle she had when she was born but with about 5 new holes punched in the nipple. Thank you LORD!
