Karleen:  I have administered many Denver tests in my career and never have 
I used a bottle. I still have my little testing "kit" and it does not 
include a bottle.  What area of development is the act of bottlefeeding 
supposed to be testing, I wonder?  The test does follow a specific 
format/paperwork, but to the best of my knowledge, does not include 
bottlefeeding as a mandatory part of the testing process.  I find Ages & 
Stages to be a much more effective tool, as the parents administer the test 
and answer growth and development-related questions rather than sitting 
passively by while someone else tests the child. After all, who best knows 
the child than the parent?
