So far my baby has been exclusively breast fed. She's never had a bottle of pumped milk (although we have some stored). Well my husband and my anniversary was yesterday and we wanted to go out to dinner so we got grandma to babysit. We knew she would have to take a bottle so we started prepping her for it yesterday ... not really expecting any problems. Unfortunately, she had no interest in it. She just screamed at it and got angry. So we tried again later that day (it was never me feeding her) and we had the same result.
Last night I looked up some ideas about how to get her to take the bottle. Many people said that it's easier if she's not actually hungry yet. So my husband tried that earlier today and she did suck on it, and apparently drank some (though we couldn't tell) but not very much. So we ended up heading off to dinner not knowing if she would eat while we were gone.
Well after dinner we called home to see how she did because we wanted to take a walk around the city but not if she needed to eat. Fortunately grandma immediately said to us "guess who drank a whole bottle!!" Yay!! I'm so proud of my little girl!! Now I know I can pump and not have to worry about her starving if I need to stay away for a bit.
And dinner was fantastic, too.
