Bottle Boo Boo

Okay so we were going to give Kenley her first bottle yesterday. I had pumped about 3 1/2 ounces. I decided to use on of the Playtex Ventaire bottles. I got it out of the cabinet and got it "ready" or so I thought.

I have 2 different Ventaire bottles and apparently (unknown to me) I had the wrong pieces with the wrong bottle so the bottle I was about to poor the milk in and place in the bottle warmer would be leaking. OOPS!

We had some milk boiling in the bottle warmer with the water we used so it had to be cleaned and I had to be assured we could put the milk back in the fridge and try again today. I washed all the bottles and called it a night.

Bottles are a bit more high tech these days. Different nipples and flow features. Different shapes, sizes and brands. It's a bit confusing to a first time parent. So, the next time Miss Kenley wakes up tonight, we will try round two, hoping to even the score with the bottle and bottle warmer.

Clay will be giving her the bottle and I know he is a bit nervous, wondering how to tell if it's the right temp, how to hold her, how to make sure he is doing it "right." We both are wondering how she will do and hoping that she will eat like a big girl for daddy but yet still eat good the next time mommy feeds her naturally.

Keep your fingers crossed ladies and gents, we're off on our next parenting adventure... BOTTLE Time!
