First Bottle Feeding

Call me lazy or picky, but I don't like messing with bottles. Why mess with them, when I've got all the equipment?

So maybe, I've been putting off feeding Dakota a bottle of milk for several weeks now, but I figured I better feed her eventually to make sure she'd take it. I've heard of some babies refusing to drink from them and since I plan on going back to work soon -- I need to know that she can drink from it.  I can't imagine how stressful that would be, if she refused to it.

BUT she was fine, she drank from it, right away. She downed 3 ounces. I fed her 1 ounce and Trey fed her the rest of the bottle. She even burped several times.

I remember I would pump bottles for Chey regularly, in the first few weeks of her life, but that was only because she had a difficult time nursing, during that time. I don't know when I will give Dakota another bottle, 90% of the time it seems more convenient nursing her, instead of pumping.
