Hitting the Bottle

Dear Carolyn,

Everyone says you need to “introduce” a bottle (Carolyn, this is bottle; bottle, this is Carolyn) by 6 weeks if a baby’s ever going to drink from one, so we experimented a little tonight. You weren’t sure at first, but then you apparently decided milk is yummy from whatever source and drank it without too much complaint. I only put about 3 oz. in the bottle, and you felt that wasn’t enough, so we nursed for a bit afterwards anyway.

I promise I won’t use this as an excuse to leave you for long periods of time, though, just maybe to catch a movie once in a while…

Love, Mommy
