This morning was a huge success! Cheryl drank from the bottle and she finished all 120ml of it! I was thrilled. On Christmas, she was fussing and crying for my breasts... again and I breastfed her. But as I was doing it, I told her that Mummy has got no more milk and Cheryl must drink from the bottle soon.
True enough, she suckled for several minutes but because the flow was not there, she looked at me with so much saddness and I was about to break down myself. I told her gently that she must drink from the bottle and gave her the teat which she took. She was still crying as she suckled from the bottle.
This morning, she woke up as she was hungry and she could not go back to bed. So I carried her and prepared a bottle of milk for her. I was half-expecting her to let out a shrill, as if to tell me that I have cheated her. But when I gave her the bottle, she took it without any fuss and finished all the milk in no time. I was so proud of her!
After that, she went back to bed. I will give her the bottle again tomorrow night.
