We haven't been very diligent about introducing the bottle to Jeremy yet.
He did have a bottle within hours of his birth because his blood sugar level
was low and he had already nursed for some time and he had no trouble that
time at all. More recently, I gave it a halfhearted attempt a few nights ago
when his mother was up giving Harry his nightly bath. Jeremy was fidgeting
and I thought he might be hungry, but with the uncertainty, I didn't really
give it much time.
But, today during the afternoon, when we had a better indication that he was
really hungry, I tried again. I remember the
bottle didn't phase Harry a bit and he just started drinking like it was
his mother in plastic. Jeremy wasn't quite as sure about this and needed a
little more encouragement. But, after just a minute or two of uncertainty,
he caught on, both literally and figuratively.
