I don't know, but I would guess that's it might be too late. You can always try. I waited until Vivian was about 5wks old to introduce the bottle and she looked at me like I was crazy. She NEVER drank out of a bottle, and I spent tons of money buying just about every style of bottle/artificial nipple out there. Even the first time I left her for 4 hours when she was 4mos old she waited until I came back to eat.

What I did find out is that she would drink out of a cup if somebody held it to her lips (I couldn't do it because she KNEW the boobie was right there). A cup with a small diameter so she could sip off the rim. Not the easiest solution, but it made me feel much better if there had been an emergency.

Your DD is just beautiful! WTG on nursing your 3rd!
