Here is Lucy showing off the two bottles she drank Saturday!
We started Lucy with Medela bottles initially because that is what came with my breast pump. She seemed to do pretty well with these bottles and she would take one every 2-3 days in the evenings from Daddy. Then I realized I only have one nipple for these bottles and only 4 bottles, which I needed to take with me to work for pumping…joy! So we switched to Avent. I'd heard great things about Avent bottles and Lucy's cousin, Jackson and Ellie both used these. Well, Lucy wasn't a big fan. After a few days we switched to the old-fashioned Playtex bottles. I remember Julia telling me these were a life-saver for Ellie at Mini-University when she was a baby. Well, once again, Lucy wasn't a big fan.
So….we are back to the good ol' Medela bottles! Luckily, they sell more bottles and nipples to supplement the few that come when you purchase the breast pump. So we ran to Target today (yay!) to stock up on more of these. And $100.00 of other goodies. Why does that happen EVERY time we go to Target?
Anyways….The good news is Lucy has successfully drank 2 Medela bottles today and Mommy is started to feel better. Although, I think she'd still tell you "Breast is Best!" I was nursing her this evening before dinner and she paused to smile and coo, mid feed, to let me know how happy she was. It was so darn cute! Then she proceeded to stop every 30 seconds to flash her adorable smile! Needless to say, this nursing took longer than normal. I'm wondering if this will happen on evenings when I come home from work next week?

The nursing when you go back to work is a difficult task but well worth your effort. You will haul the big pump and cooler of bottles back or forth, take your every free moment to go somewhere private to pump and then do it all over again. Lucy is a lucky baby to have you commit to that! And when she flashes that smile and those baby blue eyes, you will have your reward. xo
