Gavin's First Bottle

At 4 weeks, Gavin was given his first bottle of breastmilk. We originally decided to try him on a bottle, so we could go to a luau the next night with some friends. We didn't end up going, but it was great to know that Gavin would take a bottle. Daniel has started getting up with Gavin on Friday and Saturday nights, so that I can get some sleep. However, I do believe that Gavin has slept through many of those nights. Oh well! I really can't complain about that because it is fantastic!
Gavin took his first bottle like a champion. We were also told that it is a great way for him to bond with Daniel, so I try to avoid giving him a bottle when I can. Being able to grab a bottle before leaving the house is also great, so I'm not stuck in the car feeding him the whole time. We bought a car bottle warmer at Target and it's also insulated to keep the milk cool in case we don't end up using it. We've also heard from friends that they have trouble getting their baby to take a bottle, possibly because they waited too long. I think 4 weeks was perfect for Gavin. He will eat from pretty much anything you give him and will try to eat many other things, like Daniel's shoulder.


He is such a good eater and the break from time to time is really wonderful for me! :)
Gavin's first burp after his first bottle. I think he's more into cuddling than burping and when I try to burp him, he tries to climb back down to the food again. Silly baby!
