Interesting Research

Today is Michael’s original due date. I’m glad we’re way past that now. J
I researched bottle nipples today. Extremely fascinating work, I tell you. As a business analyst, I’m used to doing gap analysis and I found myself doing the same thing. Sort of creepy, eh?
I found one that was worth a try and Vince picked it up on the way home from work. (It’s called the Breast Flow and is designed to simulate let down.) As soon as Vince got home we tried it with the next feeding. Michael took three sucks on it and got that look on his face like, “are you serious?” This is the same look I get when trying to breastfeed. He took a few more tugs and got milk. Fortunately, he accepted the bottle very well.
Later that night we tried the breast again. This time he was a little more persistent. He tried for a full minute before getting annoyed. We’ll keep working on it. I know we’ll get there.
