Kates bottle feeding

I took a short video of the position we're haivng to hold Kate in to feed her and her technique for drainign the bottle. Not so much of a suck, but more of a bite which then squeezes the formula out. Take a look.

And here's why... look at the hole in the nipple. This is the way the orphanages feed them. It doesnt flow out, but give it a shake or bite it and a big squirt pours out. The one on the left is Avent fats flow nipple bought before we left. The one on the right is a Scott Fillmore creatin designed when the one on the left didnt work.



So, no sucking, just chewing. Her belly is full, so we'll worry about it later.

Jennifer, Kate belongs in your arms and it shows expecially in the videos.
Keep the videos and pictures coming.
In regards to the toys, for the orphanage would it be possilbe to purchase more and I will reimburse you?
 
Grampy O'Leary, you sound like a sweet heart. I believe Kate has a wonderful family to come home too!

Scott, you got it right...whatever it takes to get you through those first couple of weeks!!

Have a good sleep tonight. Of course, I will continue to disregard the fact you should be sleeping and check often. At least Dianne and I are going shopping today so we'll stop hitting the refresh button for a few hours!
 
JOE said "they shouldn't be feeding her like that",Geeezzzzz she could choke".....couldn't she"...too funny...lol,i can tell he will be just like travelling with a big worry wort....lol.

Hard to believe how fast they can actually suck(or should i say chew)back the bottles.

Jen you look like a natural.
 
you both look like a natural!

Thanks so much for letting me follow your journey..I might not post much, but I am watching.

I am SO HAPPY for you both!!!

You got it....worry about it later. **grin** Doesn't matter how she eats, long as she does. You're such good "students". hahahahaha!!!

Awesome pic's!! I too loved the Temple of Heaven - just beautiful.

Are you able to read everyone's comments??
 
Wow, Jen your arms must be tired!! Glad that you figured out a way to have her take her bottle ~ whatever works, right?
I can't get over how long Kate is...she looks so healthy!

You guys just look like naturals!

That's so wonderful for you to have bought toys for the other children at the orphanage :)
