    Bottles are a part of life and will continue to be so.
    hehe - they haven't been here! (I'll qualify that with a 'yet' because I dunno how feeding the next bub is going to go heh).. but DS has had a total of 3 attempts at feeding from bottles in his life, and went straight to a sippy cup for drinks other than boobyjuice. He didn't take to the bottle that well, and well, I'm a lazy expresser, so never had anything to put in a bottle anyway! So all bottles are bundled up with the steriliser in a plastic bag and at the back of the cupboard (what a waste of money! LOL - the midwife at the hospital told me not to bother buying this stuff until I needed it.. ahh well.. )

    I reckon if I showed DS a bottle now, he wouldn't know what to do with it! He doesn't know what to do with a dummy either LOL - he chews on the handle!

    ETA: I just remembered I was going to mention a bib that came in a pack of cheapo bibs.. it says 'tools of the trade' and has a pic of a nappy pin, a bottle, and a dummy. It'd be interesting to know how many people look at that bib and think the nappy pin is irrelevant.. and who looks at the bib and thinks the bottle & dummy are irrelevant (like me).
