Bottle Feeding

If you've followed my blog from Isaac's birth, you probably remember that he was bottle/formula fed for the first 3 days since he was in the NICU for hypoglycemia.  I had a horrible time trying to get him to breastfeed and nearly gave up so many times.  Finally, we got the hang of it.

Well, now we are only 2 months away from day care and I wanted to make sure we could still roll with the bottle.  So, a few weeks ago we started the Saturday ritual of Bryce feeding him his first bottle.  Bryce loves to be able to feed him, and I love getting a little break (even though I have to pump).

I snapped this picture, too cute.  :)

I didn't know how much to put in his bottle, so I put 7 oz breastmilk the first week and Isaac inhaled it.  The second week I put 8 oz and he inhaled in again.  Geez, no wonder I'm starving all the time!  This kid eats a ton!
