I'm currently hiding right now. Our baby girl is getting her first bottle today. They say that it's better for mommy to hide out of sight and smell. So daddy is pretending to be surrogate feeder. I read all these stories about babies not taking to the bottle and only wanting to be breastfed. So we prepared as best as we could. We woke her, made sure she was hungry, but happy, warmed the bottle, put on a bib, set her with dad and I promptly disappeared. I waited for cries of agony.
I heard her cry once and I thought, "Oh no, this isn't going to work." I heard a couple more cries for a minute or two, but suddenly it got quiet. Then I heard, "Uh, she's almost done with this one, we need more!"
I guess the bottle experience wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. Go dad!
