OMG! Can it be? Is it Freedom I smell???
After many failed attempts to get Alexis on the bottle I think we have success! I know stay calm, it's only been 3 days and 3 bottles, one per day but she has taken them from both Peter and I so I'm pretty stoked. We tried different brands, Advent and Born Free and she seems to prefer the wide mouth bottle style or is it the nipple style that she likes better? At any cost I'm trying to stay calm as this leads to me getting a little freedom and not having to time it out from a feed, go do something and be back in time before she needs more milk and a cranky husband, hee hee hee. I have pumped and stored some milk but know I have to pump like mad to get lots of milk as I'd like to get her to a min of 9 months of just boob juice before we do formula. But if it becomes to much of a chore and I feel like a cow being milked then I will most definitely crack open the formula. With the new freedom comes some worry that she'll ween from me. Her brother did at 9 months almost to the day so I think I'd like to go 9 months or longer if I can with her. There is nothing more natural or bonding then breast feeding a baby and I truly have had my share of plugged ducks woes to have some of the joy that comes with it.
