Scott actually had a fabulous night my first night back to work! The babies ate at 6:30 and didn't eat again until 6:00! That's right! They slept for about 11 1/2 hours! Crazy! I was quite jealous, but I'm glad things went well. I need Scott to have a good night so he can watch the kids the next day for me to sleep.
Then, my third night back, Marie decided to throw a little wrench in the process. She refused her bottle. She screamed (or that's the story I hear) at the mere touch of the bottle. I guess she acted like she was gagging. He tried fast flow and slow flow nipples. He tried formula and breastmilk. He tried cuddling her and keeping her on the bouncy chair. I guess she finally cried herself to sleep. She had a total of 1/2 ounce at best while I was gone. Needless to say, he had a hard night! We were surpised, because Marie has taken the bottle with no problem quite a few times and as recent as Thursday! Audrey also refused the bottle when she was a baby and the rejection was just as sudden, but she was 4 1/2 months.
