Hitting the bottle

On Kaida's 4 week birthday she had her first bottle.



Daddy gave it to her 'cause that's what all the websites say to do. We put 3 oz of expressed breast milk from several different pumpings in the bottle. I pumped most of the milk way back in the beginning when she wouldn't latch on and I was trying to boost my supply. So some colostrum and some milk.

It went well. She didn't throw a fit or refuse to eat it or anything so that's good. I pumped while she was being fed. I only pumped 2 oz so I guess we didn't need to put 3 in the bottle.



Later that night she had several poopy diapers right in a row. Then I remembered that colostrum is a laxative. Whoops. Sorry baby.
