Here is my random question for today. If we have a good system down for pumping breast milk and feeding it to Anderson via a bottle, should I really be worrying about trying to get him to breast feed? I mean he is getting the milk. Your preemie fact for today is that they do not take to the breast right away, as much as they may want to. Some preterm babies may take up to a month after their original due date to latch on properly. What are the advantages to having him actually eat from the breast?
In other news..... today is a bath day. People always talk about how great babies smell. Hello - that's only after a bath. Anderson tends to spit up a fair amount. That means he smells like sour milk most of the time. Seriously. The good news is that he totally loves his baths. His baby tub has this little hammock thing. He just lounges with his legs hanging over the side with his feet in the water. It's very cute. He is pretty cute in the towels too!
