weaned
Antonio hasn't had a bottle in a week.
This has translated to about 30 minutes of hell right before he passes out for the night if we're at home.
It also means he sleeps through the night very consistently and wakes up relatively happy (six of seven wakings have been happy, one has been very much not so). It also means he does not consume as many calories as he did while bottle-feeding three to four times a day. He hasn't adjusted his eating habits to make up for the lack of milk, and I haven't figured out how to get more food down the gullet without attempts at force feeding.
It's been hard, but i'm glad we're getting it over with.
