(Is this too much information?)  We&#8217;ve given Carrie a couple of bottles, but the last one was two months ago.  Silly me, I didn&#8217;t think there would be any issues, but she absolutely refused to take a bottle while my parents watched her during my rehearsal Monday night.  I tried giving her another bottle yesterday, and it looked as though her real gripe with the whole thing was that she needs to be laying down to take a bottle.
