Brooke takes a bottle!!


For those of you who know our past with bottles know that this is a milestone for us. Our kids have not been good bottle takers & I was determined that Brooke would use a bottle. She took one when she was first born, but a couple of months later she decided she was done with the bottle and wanted nothing more to do with it. We tried several times since then, but had not luck. Today, she now takes one & willing takes it--twice a day. I did cheat a little & tried a trick my sister told me. I put a small drop of chocolate syrup in the formula to sweeten it a little more. She is now on day 4 & we've stopped putting the chocolate in & she takes it with no problems. Jake made the comment that Brooke must be the baby if she is getting chocolate in her drink. You would have never seen me do that with my first few children.

I had no idea you added chocolate! Good for Brooke. I already know the frustration of these little babies changing their minds all the time. It's so much better now that Max takes one too.
