Ida vs. the Bottle + a bonus

Now that we're at 3.5 weeks, we're going to try to start introducing the bottle, to allow me to feed Ida, to let Ella range more freely, and to prepare for the day when Dr. Vining goes back out there saving lives. Ida and I will have some times, then! But that's a ways off. Here's what it looked like:

Future investigation: is Ida starting to develop the dreaded cradle c(r)ap?
