After Aston's relative success with the dummy we are now trying to perserver with the bottle - so that Rob can also feed Aston some expressed milk on occassion.
Aston was fine with the bottle in the first week but since we've discovered more and more success with the breastfeeding he's less inclined to use the bottle - which is a bugger as it makes it harder for us to go out for longer than 2 hours given it's not so cool to breastfeed in public in a Muslim country - and especially during Ramadan.
We've already had to give two feeds in the back seat of the car, once during a grocery shopping trip and once when we went to collect his final stamps on the birth certificate.
Even that is a bit dodgy here and we have to drape the back seat with the muslin wraps over the windows so no one can accidently see in - I'm sure the punishment for breast feeding in public during Ramadan is a combination of lashings and jail time ... actually it would probably just result in a severe slap on the wrist from the authorities but we don't want to risk it.
You can see from the above photo he's not particularly keen - still we keep trying.
