Update: bottle feeding!

I did the second bottle feeding at about 2am today. It went terribly at first, with baby screaming, me getting frustrated, and SiliMommy getting mad at me, in return.

Finally, it went okay--she drank about 2.5 fl oz of breast milk--and I learned two things:

1) Keep baby upright while bottle feeding;
2) It's a lot easier to get her to eat if you calm her down first (she was squalling from hunger when I first tried to introduce the bottle).

I'm not sure, though, if she got enough milk.

But this is a start...

And now I gotta run, as she's crying again. (Didn't fall asleep very well after the feeding.)
