Sophie vs The Bottle
Currently Sophie is winning the war against the bottle. She is refusing to take a bottle. We have tried everything - different bottles, different nipples, sugar water, different people giving it to her. My kitchen cupboards look like the baby aisle of a grocery store. I have every brand of bottle and nipple and my Sophie says "NO" to all of them. I never had this problem with Olivia. She was so great about switching between nursing and taking a bottle. Why is this a problem you may ask? Other than I never get a break. Because in less than a week I return to work. I teach Kindergarten in the mornings and I will miss one feeding. Not really sure what I'm going to do come Monday. Or better yet what Sophie is going to do. We were actually reduced to using a syringe (thanks Jonelle) today. She got what she needed but she was not happy about it. I just sat on the stairs listening to her cry while Ray attempted to feed her. It was a very sad cry:(

I love the title "Sophie vs the bottle"!!! I will be praying for you and that she will start taking a bottle. Good luck!
awe! sitting on the stairs listening to her cry. pretty sure i would have broken down and cried my eyes out too. pretty sure i cry for everything, so whatever.
What a stinker! I've been wanting to start Josh a bottle here and there so it's too bad we don't live closer so I could try him on all your bottles and nipples Sophie won't take. Josh won't take a binky at all so I'm a little worried that he won't take to bottle nipples either. Joys of motherhood!
