It is the hardest thing I have ever done.
I joked about it at my first daughter's
first birthday. I said it was a
birthday/done nursing party. Little did
I know I was about 3 weeks pregnant with
number two. I am able to stay home with
them so I feel like it's my job. I am
going to stop at one year again. I can't
wait. I don't like to talk to people
about it because I make it sound terrible.
But the bottom line is - we have milk
for our babies, it is the perfect food for
them always. It changes with their
needs. And I have a girlfriend who's son
is about 3 months older than chai. He
has had two very nasty sicknesses and some
colds. My girls have never had anything
serious. My older daughter has had one
ear infection when she was 20 months,
that's as bad as it has gotten. So, that
helps me to continue.

With my daughter I tried to breastfeed and
she wouldn't take to it so I didn't push
it being a single first time mom she was a
very healthy baby never really sick, with
my son i'm choosing bottles due to the
fact I am going to end up having surgery
after he is born for my back and I am in
need of muscle relaxors to calm severe
muscle spasms in order to sleep and since
my daughter was always healthy I am going
to go with the playtex nursers.

my girls love the playtex ventair, it was
the only nipple I could find that doesn't
leak, and milk doesn;t come all out the
sides of their mouths while they are
eating
i can't afford those w/ emma, but I buy
the nipples... They lie when they say
those nipples only work with those
bottles...I use them so emma won;t drown
herself!!!
