Last week when my in-laws were here visiting, I asked them to try and give Sierra a bottle. My mother-in-law tried first and sure enough she stuck the bottle in Sierra’s mouth and away she went. She drank the full 2 ounce bottle and then I filled it up again and she drank all the rest. Amazing! So, they laughed and joked that it was a “grandmother” thing. Since Sierra will take the bottle from my mother also. The next day, we tried again, this time letting Brian’s Aunt give it a try. Again, she sucked down the entire bottle! I could not believe it. Not only was she drinking from the bottle, but she was actually holding the bottle all by herself like a big girl. She is growing up soooo fast! Then on Friday, I attended a “Killed while on Duty Death Benefits” class with Brian, so my in-laws stayed with Sierra. When she woke up from her nap, my Mother-in-law gave her a bottle again and she had no problem with it. This past Monday, Brian gave Sierra a bottle and she took it right away and then drank the whole thing and today was my turn, we had success!!! She drank a full bottle for me as well. This is such a milestone in our house. We are all very excited!
The only issue we seem to be having right now is she won’t drink the frozen milk. However, I am not completely sure whether it is the frozen milk that tastes bad to her or the milk that is tainted with the flavor of the antibiotics that I was on when I had Mastitis. If it is just the Mastitis milk, that is fine, I can dump that; but if it is all the frozen milk, then we are in trouble because I literally have a freezer FULL (pictures to come)!!! O’well, at least I can blend that milk into her fruits, veggies, and cereals once I start making her solid food.
