Hmmmmm, well the bedtime with Daddy didn't happen. I'd been listening on the monitor to a very distressed LL who was obviously rejecting the bottle vehemently, when BFS came back down and suggested I have a try as he obviously wasn't going to take it from him. I tried - very hard - but to no avail.
The only thing which finally settled a most upset little boy was - yup you've guessed it - starts with B and ends in oob!
I tried him with the bottle today in the afternoon - but my timing was cack. Just as he was getting curious about it the whole family turned up and chaos followed. It was distraction city, so once again he got a pint of the usual. Ooh - I didn't mention that I cracked the seal on the formula for that bottle today. There was no way I was wasting good expressed milk for that! Once I know he'll take it, he'll get the rest of the frozen supply!
It's now 12 days until we go away for the weekend. I hope that's enough time to get him loving the bottle.........(good luck Mum!)

Sounds like the kids are doing much better! I hope that LL will start taking the bottle soon! Good luck...and I am so happy that you and BFS will be getting away for the weekend! Well deserved!
