shell, Nina is really fussy with the bottle too. I got one 4months+ and she took to it straight away. That way I don't have to worry about going from breast, to bottle, to cup, it'll be breast to cup.
I'm glad you feel like you can come here and talk to us. I feel the same way. I know everyone raises their children differently, and I'm not one to look down on someone just cause they're doing something different to me. I think one of the hardest things I've come across so far is the solids. My family believe I should have started at 2 months, and couldn't believe I've only just started. When I tell them the recommended age is actually 6 months, they just sort of rolls their eyes and say 'well that's just rubbish, they need it earlier than that!' Suprisingly, MIL is the only one that hasn't put her two cents worth in, thank god!
