Beth's post made me remember that Lola also wanted nothing but latex nipples! I started Jake on latex, but went to silicone. He does fine.

With the boys I did not start a bottle nearly early enough and it was a huge nightmare when I tried to introduce one and then, later, go back to work.

With Little Pink, she got one little bit of bottle in the hospital when I ran out of colostorum and she was starving. She started getting pumped breastmilk bottles right after coming home. She gets a bottle about every other day and does just fine with it. (phew!)... I go back to work in Sept. and it's just good to know we won't have that issue to deal with.

I am concerned I may need to rent a hospital pump to get my supply up so I can stockpile some freezer milk for Sept.
