Chef Dad

Last night, we tried giving a bottle of breast milk to Eric. Beforehand, we read up on how to introduce the bottle and asked a bunch of moms on what they did. The books all state that the mom needs to be far away from the baby and the dad should give the bottle - to avoid confusion. Also, do not give the bottle when the baby is frustrated and crying...well we didn't exactly follow that advice. First, Eric was way fussy (since it was evening and he was hungry).  Second, I didn't leave the room because I wanted to see what happened and document (see below). After a little resistance, Eric gulped the entire bottle and wanted more! Phew - so far, so good with the bottle.  Now chef Dad can make some meals for baby boy!
