First Bottle

My goal is to breastfeed as long as I can. I did it with K for 1.5 years, and I'm hoping to do the same with M if not longer. This time I'm not using the wonderful/troublemaking nipple shield, and I'm very happy about it. It was awesome for sore nipples but what a hassle to use. It always had to be sterilized. Although I had a few of them, going on even small trips or feeding in public was simply difficult. The positive thing about it was that K had no problems with switching between the breast or bottlefeeding.

With Maya I'm hoping for the same thing. I'll be working soon two full days a week. I'll be pumping in between classes to keep the milk supply going. So last week, at two weeks of age, we tried the bottle for the very first time. Len did the honors of feeding her, and she had no problems - no problems drinking from the bottle and no problems switching back to breast!
