I still haven't decided what kind of bottle to use? Recommendations? I used a natural nurser for Vaughn and they were SO expensive, like over $10 a bottle, so I'd rather not with these boys. But that was only because she was exclusively BF for so long, and took a bottle only about once a week until 8 weeks, that she was super picky and that was the only bottle she'd take. These guys will get BF and bottle fed right away, so I want to get something less costly. But I don't want dropins. I'd rather something that is easier to clean, as I am thinking I'll need somewhere around 18 bottles or so a day....
Here's a photo of me from today before shopping. I wonder if the people at BRU thought I was going to go into labor, the way I kept stopping and hunching over, catching my breathe, or sitting down! haha! Motorized scooter here I come - next shopping trip! LOL!
You're so beautiful, girl! Love how you're looking more rectangular. have you noticed? I was always very rectangular look'n with our trips. Does that make any sense?
ReplyDeleteI used Dr Brown's bottles. Suppose to help with reflux, colic, and such. Not sure if it did. We bought too many of the small bottles. Like 24! And then they were so quickly needing 6oz and more that we should've bought half and half. They were more expensive. A friend of mine used only 9 bottles as she just washed them as she went. She bottle fed only too! That might be easier than trying to make 24 bottles, and heat up cold bottles everytime. I loved it when mine were older and i started making fresh bottles with warmed up filter water. It was faster. It also took up way less room on counters, sink and fridge. Food for thought!
Your stomache that is! :)

Sounds like you are a deal shopper too..good for you. get your form letter ready so that you can send out your "free request' letters when the babies are born.
