The nurses at Providence, Dr. Bengtson and our lactation consultant all said to give a bottle between 3 and 4 weeks, as that's the best time in a newborns life to try something new. So we wasted no time giving it a try today as Oliver turned 3 weeks old! John sat with him in the glider and the kid took the bottle instantly. I almost burst into tears... Our baby is getting so big! And I'm so glad John gets to experience this, too. I get to bond with Oliver so much during our multiple nursing sessions each day and want John to have that time with him as well. Now let's just hope he doesn't have any trouble going back to the breast at the next feeding!
