Wed, 17 Dec 2008 04:26:30 +0000 http://mommynewsblog.com/?p=635#comment-140 I'm glad you pointed this out. With my first baby, I didn't know better. She ended up preferring bottle to breast because she could eat faster. She'd down 8 ounces in less than 5 minutes when she was only 4 months old. DO make sure the nipple works properly each time before feeding. One time when preparing for a day trip I used a brand-new nipple on my son's bottle. I'd sterilized it, but sadly, didn't check it, thinking since it was new, it would be fine. Nearly an hour after I'd given him the bottle, I thought it odd he'd apparently hardly drunk any (he was over a year old - quite able to feed himself in the car). He tossed it on the floor. When we got to our destination, I washed the nipple, tested it, and realized that the hole wasn't complete. It was nearly impossible to get even a drop out of it! I felt horrible to think I'd kept my son hungry through my carelessness. So there's more than one reason to check nipples *every* time.:-) I’m glad you pointed this out.
