We have bottle feeding!

[percival]

Today, Ruth took her first 40 ml of expressed breast milk from a bottle, skilfully adminstered by Daddy. We decided to take this step because breast feeding is well established, and it's nice to have the flexibility. Another 30 ml is sitting in the fridge for her to guzzle.

We never found using a bottle disrupted other feeding. It can in useful occasionally and makes the father feel more of the process. We had to use a bottle and fomular for Meg when she was first born as her mouth was too small to suckle but as soon as she grew a bit she went back to the breast.
