Hi all,
I will be traveling soon (to Seoul) to pick up DS#2. He will be ~13 months old at pick-up; the last report I got said that he was drinking ~a liter of formula per day, at age 10 months. I have no idea if he's been started on solid food yet (but i'll have the opportunity to ask his foster mom when I go).
I am clueless about bottles - DS#1 is was also born in Korea, but had a cleft lip & palate so we had to use special bottles. He also went cold turkey on the bottles at the tender age of 15 months: he wasn't allowed a bottle at all for 6weeks after his cleft palate repair. By the time his post-op care was over, there didn't seem any point to going back to a bottle since he drank from a cup.
Anyway, I have been reading and asking friends with bio kids for suggestions but am overwhelmed with choices. (We do know lots of adoptvie families IRL, but most of them have kids who came home around the time of our DS#1, who is almost 4 years old, or earlier. Things have changed!). Most of the bottles seem to be "systems" that start off with newborns (duh) and I can't figure out where 13 months should fit in the spectrum.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
