This R&R has been the best! First because of the new baby that my daughter finally released from her belly. 'Course she now has him to her boob most of the time. I mean really, how much do babies eat? I have to pry him away for some grandma time...I've had powder milk for a while, so I can't help her out there. They say he cluster eats, (which means he eats every hour or 2...then stays up there filling up for a good half hour- jeez, it makes my boobs hurt thinking of all the suckling going on). This is the reason he sleeps through the night. In the good old days we propped a bottle for that, but human milk is better for a human baby than animal milk. As cheap as I am I tend to think of all the buck-a-roofs she's saving...formula is so expensive! I saw on Amazon or EBay that some sell the stuff. They pump and freeze it and I guess, next day air it! Unbelievable! What will these kids think of next.
So I'm officially an old fart. So many new things for babies... wrappy things to make them feel cuddled always, car seats- no more tossing baby in the backseat in a carrier, and I'm told that baby does not need water for 6 months- huh? (possibly the endless time at the tit). No pacifier and I can't even get into the circumcision...good grief! Ouch! How on earth did our kids survive?
It's been too much fun. I'll never get enough time with the family before I have to leave again, so I have a happy thought that at least the little guy will be big enough to play with when I see him next. It's going to be a rough good-bye back to the sandbox!
