Hi there,
Thanks for the tips. DD is 4 months old (18 weeks) & has had a bottle along the way.
We think she'll do better without me around. Unfortunately I had to be here the other day, but DH has had a little more success when I've not been around with the bottles. I don't mind if she doesn't eat much & then makes up for it later, as long as she's going to be OK.
I guess my other great concern is that DH has a nice time with her, rather than a screaming bub all day (which she was the other day) - however, I think this was due to lack of sleep as well, so have encouraged him to focus on that, and just offer her the bottle and remove it if she gets upset.
We were also given a sippy cup with a soft spout so we'll give that a try. I've already been introducing her to a little cup of water to get her used to it, so we'll persist with that so maybe she can drink some milk from a cup. I'll look out for a straw cup for her.
I'll look into the ABA Booklet because I've found their other booklets really helpful.
Thanks!
