One if by breast, two if by plastic

There is just one light shining from the steeple here at chez Tigermommy's. Mr. Munchie dislikes the bottle. I bought practially every type of bottle and nipple that Baby's R Us sells, and none of them suited him. We spent an hour this morning trying them all. Some he gags on, some he sort of chews on, and none were good enough to latch onto. Mr. Munchie is going to be one hungry dude on my first day back to work. The lactation consultant at the Mommy's group told me I'm starting late introducing the bottle. She also said he just might not eat the first day I go back to work. Great, exactly what I needed to hear. It will be hard enough leaving him, taking the train into Boston, and working for 8 hours, but now I know he will be at home starving. No guilt here! I will just keep pumping and we will keep trying the bottles.

So remember for the next baby. Start the bottle much, much earlier than 10 weeks.

Right now he is staring, smiling and cooing at the milar helium balloon I tied to his bouncy chair. He thinks it is cool. He really needs a nap, which he doesn't think is so cool. He also needs a diaper change, which I don't think is so cool.
