Eli: Better at the bottle

Since the beginning of the bottle, Eli only took 2.5 oz. each feeding. That was my only significant "complaint" about him but even then, I felt lucky he'd take it at all. Just leave more milk with a sitter and he'd just eat more often.

But now he seems to be taking at least 4.0 oz.! Yay! Actually, I have yet to figure out if this helps him last longer between feedings vs. the 2.5 oz. bottles. I think so. I'm also glad because Dr. Moore said there's nothing we can do to make him take more. He either will or won't. Fancy bottles, nipples, don't help (even though we are sticking to the Dr. Brown's since that's the one he drank more from).

Apparently Eli's more comfortable with the bottle too because for the first time yesterday, he fell asleep at the bottle. Sure, he was pooped from Joshua's birthday party, but it is a first!
