Lolli tried her first bottle on Saturday, October 6! Lauren woke up this morning to find rings of milk on her sheets, so she got up and pumped. Soon after, Lolli woke up and Lauren fed her. Knowing it would make Zach incredibly excited, Lauren then told him that she would pump some milk and he could feed Lolli from a bottle the next time she was hungry. So once Lolli started getting fussy, Lauren sterilized all the parts, pumped out about 3 ounces, and got the bottle ready.
Zach took his shirt off (trying to convince Lolli she's "breastfeeding" from him) and got the boppy ready. He offered Lolli the bottle and she took it! She only drank about half an ounce before she got frustrated (the "slowflow" nipples didn't live up to their name - the fast flow of milk had her choking!). So Lauren finished feeding her the old fashioned way. But some babies won't take a bottle at all, so it was a good first try!
