AS I SUSPECTED! But hey, I'm all for preventing fatal diarrhea.

But only for a month or so.) C1 took a bottle from necessity, and introduction to it from first few weeks, etc. I was home with C2, and too lazy, so I was definitely tethered to that little munchkin.<br /><br />On the smarter issue: isn't there some study explaining that breast fed babies are perhaps smarter because of all the extra skin contact? Touching babies stimulated brain development, something something, formula fed babies can get the same benefits if cuddled while feeding (aka Do Not prop baby with bottle!). If I were a better person I'd look it up.<br /><br />But on the upside, you're nearly done with that whole thing! For a while, if not forever. You will someday call your body your own! The children will stop needing you for every little thing, and you'll gladly purchase false affection by wearing a fuzzy bathrobe so your tactile-motivated children will snuggle you in the mornings. Or perhaps that's just me.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276995787173932700noreply@blogger.com
