Feeding the baby

Now that Sydney is only on formula, the kids love to be able to feed her. And she’ll take food from anyone willing to give it to her. She is a healthy, hungry, growing baby.

Unfortunately for them they don’t actually get the chance very often – because I really love feeding her myself! Does that make me a bad mommy, or a good mommy? I’m still not sure. I admit that one of the parts of nursing I really like is that I’m the one who nourishes the baby – the only one. (Well maybe I don’t always love it so much in the middle of the night when I’m beyond exhausted and the baby wants to nurse every hour). But in general that is something that I secretly (almost selfishly) enjoy.

But regardless of who feeds her, she is doing really well on formula. Super really well. She is now the happiest baby on the block. And that makes for the happiest mommy. Which in turn makes for a happy family.
