After much effort and frustration, it became apparent that Daniel was most likely not going to nurse.  So a couple of weeks ago, we just decided to get realistic about it and just deal with it.  Up to this point we had been using a special bottle that is supposed to work more like nursing so that he wouldn’t forget how to (not that he ever really learned to in the first place).  We thought that this bottle might be contributing to his gas problems because he seemed to take a lot of air with it.  Once we started getting realistic about the nursing issue, we decided to switch to Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow bottles.  It was an amazing difference.  Daniel still gets gas, but not nearly to the magnitude as before.  I have learned to love Dr. Brown.

Here is Daniel having some of Mama’s finest in his Dr. Brown bottle.
