Daddy's turn

Caleb had his first bottle tonight!

We have been talking about doing this since before he was born, so that Josh can take one of the night time feedings plus when I go back to work I can keep breastfeeding. The lactation consultants suggest waiting to introduce a bottle or paci until about 3 weeks. He will be 3 weeks on Tuesday (can you believe it??!?!).

We were able to get him to take the paci a few days ago. We have played with trying to get him to take a paci for a little while but he would just look at us like we were crazy and chew on it. Instead of his normal evening feeding, I pumped and then Josh fed him that milk. Caleb acted a little confused at first but then dove right in and ate it all up! He was a bit more messy with the bottle than he usually is with feedings, but I am sure that will improve with practice. I can not wait until Josh takes over one of the nighttime feedings...sleeping more than 3 hours at a time??!?!?...whoop whoop!

Notice the drop of milk

Success!
