After a LONG day of tears and worriedness, Matt came home and suggested we try one of the bottles we had given up on... Tommy Tipee (shorter nipple, wider base). We tried it before supper and she surprisingly tolerated it and didn't gag! Then we tried again in her tub tonight (thats her favorite place) and she took 1 oz from Matt!!! I was so happy I cried :) Funny thing is, right when we got her in the tub she was real serious... Not her usual talkative, happy, splashing self. Then she took that ounce and immediately turned back into our tub loving Violet :) Kind of like she had her game face on, scored a goal/homerun/touchdown, and then joined us for the party :)
I'm not sure if it's been all the gum massaging, bottle play, or Matt's 'game talk' he had with her right before, but I'm SOOO happy and relieved :) Hopefully she keeps it up and takes another ounce or two tomorrow :) Then I may be ordering a whole new bottle set from amazon (Tommy Tipee) to replace the one we have right now that she won't use (Dr. Browns)!
Ps- to add to this bundle, I think Biolet is cutting a tooth! Lower right one... Eek!
Yay for success! Chloe had trouble with bottles too. I'm glad you guys have a slice of piece of mind before heading back to work in a month. Yay Violet!
