He had already tried a bottle and did well. But only a couple of times. I've prefered to have the nose tube to make sure that the breast feeding gets established. I was nervous that when I moved to one feeding a day (with boob) that he'd forget or something, but that hasn't happened! He feeds really well. I do use a plastic nipple shield, because my his mouth is so small and my nipples are rather large. I suspect that at this point it's all plastic to him. Eventually I'll get rid of the shield. But, breast feeding is so much more awesome than I was expecting!
