21/365

I had been thinking abt trying to give the baby a bottle for awhile now. He is having some severe separation anxiety - way worse than any of my other kids - & I was thinking it may help him, uh, separate from me, for lack of a better term.
I was kind of nervous abt this. He is exclusively breast fed but I have introduced a cup. The last time we tried a bottle, a few months ago, he screamed like a demon!
Today I pumped & tested out the bottle & he took it like a champ!! It was awesome. He even held it himself the whole time! But of course, he was so cute doing it, I held him the whole time anyway. Sheesh, maybe I am the problem!

    How old is he? Jackson NEVER took a bottle. . . though I only tried a few times :) Looks like he is enjoying it!

    I've never tried to give my 10 month old a bottle. Hmm.... I'm glad your little guy did so well!

    This is adorable and I love the angle. My daughter is one in four days and is actually weaning herself off of breastfeeding and I'm taking it harder than I thought I would. :( But I hope this helps him with his separation anxiety, we went through a mild case and I thought that was difficult.

    I agree... I like the angle. Such an exciting day, especially with him holding it all by himself!

    LOL this made me laugh because I am the same way. Isn't it cute when they use their chubby little hands to do everyday things like hold a bottle?
