Bottle Update

Wow, thanks so much for all the useful comments and advice. Calvin still isn't using the bottle, and keeps choking and backing away as we continue to introduce it. We are using the Avent bottles with the slowest flow-rate, level one. We will keep trying, and are also now debating purchasing the Dr. Browns bottle which everyone keeps suggesting. Also, next time I will leave the room too and see if that helps. I will keep you posted on the progress here. Nursing thankfully is going very well, and Calvin has a healthy appetite.

It seems that you may be introducing the bottle too quickly. In fact they dont say to pump until after 6weeks I believe. Just something to think about.

I forgot about this before, but I know people who have used the Adiri breast bottle with some success too -
