Of Sharon's formula into a small
glass, Sharon put her lips to the
glass in approved fashion and pro-
ceeded to drink down the contents
Mrs. Samet said Sharon obviously
prefers glass to bottle. She will
consume 31a ounces of formula at a
sitting when she gets it in glass,
but she rebels after 21a ounces from
bottle.
"She drinks 1t faster and gets
less air, too," Mrs. Samet reported.
1T takes her only two minutes to
drink an ounce of formula from a
glass, but she needs 10 minutes to
drink thai. much out of bottle
Mrs. Samet still regards the glass
performance as a stunt, until she
has checked with the doctor. If
he says it is all right, she will take
Sharon of the bottle.
I'D like to start her on cereal
now, too, because she's used to using
