The Chain Smoker

Right now, the baby is drinking two ready-made bottles at each feeding. Since there have been days when he only wants one, we don’t open the second one until we’re sure he wants both. This can cause a few seconds of ballistic crying while we quickly try to shake, open, and nipple up the second bottle. Apparently, the baby is a chain-smoker when it comes to his bottles. He expects you to pull one empty one out and immediately replace it with a fresh one before the milk from the last one has had a chance to dry on his lips. We may have to have an intervention soon to address this unhealthy addiction.
