Feeding

Babies like to eat.   Wolfson’s like to eat.  Wolfson babies like to eat.  A lot.

Which means that Chika has more than a full time job on her hands.  We now are into full swing on the breast-feeding side, so our midwife gave the OK to begin using the bottle.

The good news is that hopefully this will give Chika a needed break now and then, and spread the work around (Grandma Yukie taking on this one here).   It still requires plenty of additional work (the human body has a built in warming mechanism and can be served on-demand, while refrigerated bottles need prep time).  Plus it’s still the extra work of getting it into bottles in the first place.

All in all, the good news is that for the 10-30 minutes that Kai is eating, he is generally happy, peaceful and quiet.  I think that is the favorite word combo in this household.
