My 1st two wouldn't take a bottle, so I am grateful as well for the benefits of him taking a bottle. I also have noticed a closeness between my husband and Caleb. It is so much better because he has taken more part in his care and I have left him a lot more with daddy!<BR/>We will do it this way now everytime!<BR/>love, BrookeJim and Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954515374781298483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849869665825822289.post-2275935638069439962008-04-11T17:01:00.000-07:002008-04-11T17:01:00.000-07:00That's funny because I did the exact opposite!

I love breast feeding but I'm one of those Mom's that only do it till they're one because I'm "supposed" to. I'm always excited to stop.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518442124374879454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849869665825822289.post-9998296682598080882008-04-11T13:22:00.000-07:002008-04-11T13:22:00.000-07:00Amen to that!

It was a constant struggle for her to breast feed, so after 3 months of fighting with my precious baby, I gave in and just gave her a bottle, it was like heaven for me...and for her! I am all about the bottle. The stress those 3 months caused me because "they" said breast feeding is what bonds the mother and baby together wasn't worth it. Infact, I felt more bonded with Skye once feedings were so easy when I gave her the bottle. So I strongly agree with "an ordinary mom" that we do have to put what "they" say aside and go with what works best for us as mothers and our child. And not every child is the same, Delanie was just so content breast feeding the second she came out...Carl and Starlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231756678086660110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849869665825822289.post-15043441485362748042008-04-11T09:05:00.000-07:002008-04-11T09:05:00.000-07:00Bottles are great!

I did t...Oh, how I know what you're talking about! I did the same thing with all of my kids, and I think #3 and #4 never even HAD a bottle. EVER. Which means I NEVER GOT AWAY!! So when I had baby #5, I was very good about pumping and giving her a bottle at least once a day. For the first six weeks. Then I kind of just didn't give her a bottle, and got right back into the same trouble again! So I applaud you for keeping it up! It's SOOO great. (And I agree - that 6 week thing is pure baloney! If you're going to do both breast and bottle - I think it's fine if you introduce them both at the same time, after all, you're getting your baby used to BOTH, right?) Anyway, way to go! And I'm glad you got to get out!! Keep it up, it is soooo important.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582741292059146024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849869665825822289.post-81745993485802259182008-04-08T10:02:00.000-07:002008-04-08T10:02:00.000-07:00I would have gone metally crazy without bottles!
