<< Has the issue of whether or not baby has ever taken a bottle *before* been

will not be able to produce the kind of milk supply that this case is
suggesting. We are talking about producing a week's worth of milk WHILE the
mom is also nursing the baby! >>
to clarify, no this baby has only had about 2-3 bottles for times the Dad
insisted that mom pump so they could go out and let grandmom babysit. This
baby has been nursed, rocked, attended to and slept with Mom for his entire
life. And Mom only has a battery/mini pump that she used only those 2-3
times. No separation except for those few dates out with dad at dad's
insistence.
