Bottle time

We introduced the bottle this week, at 6 weeks! The first night was pretty good. He played around with it for about 10 minutes, but then he drank all 4 ounces! Marc was so excited and happy, he came into our room with a big grin on his face saying how happy he was that he was able to feed our baby. It was so cute. As relieved as I was that he took the bottle and that I now get out of one of the feedings it was still a little sad to see him taking the bottle and not needing me. But really, it's so nice that I can go to bed a little early and Marc can take care of putting him down in his crib for the night. Now I just need to go to bed instead of sitting there watching him eat the bottle, haha. 

The second night was a little different. It's the one right before we go to bed, between 9-10pm. Caiden is sleeping during this time so it's supposed to be a "dream feed", where he doesn't really wake up and just starts sucking. But that night he did not want to eat and just slept. Marc gave up and tried about 30 minutes later and viola! Just had to wait till he was ready I guess.

Overall I think it's totally going to work, we've used a couple different bottles because we wanted to do 5 oz instead of 4 and the first bottle we were using was only a 4 oz bottle. But he doesn't really seem to care about the nipple shape or bottle or whatever so that's good. I still have to pump before I go to bed otherwise I'm in some pain by the time he wakes around 3am to eat again but that's okay.

It's also the start of the NFL season which means Sundays are now reserved for the couch and the tv. Marc's team, the Washington Redskins played the Saints and they won, 40-32!
