I got Jackson all ready for a nap, and he was super cooperative (unlike normal!) and very much on board with this idea. Tucked him in, said goodnight and closed the door. He said goodnight and actually stayed in bed for once.
What is happenning??!
I sit down on the couch and then two seconds later he comes walking down the stairs saying, “Well that was a short nap!”
Don’t be fooled — he didn’t actually drink any of it. And still never has taken a bottle! I never would have thought I could have survived that, but here we are.
Apparently this actually is a trend with pandemic babies — they’re not taking bottles because their moms are all at home!
At this point we can probably just skip right to sippy cups (hopefully we’ll have better luck there). But I had to pump today for a clogged duct. It was the very first time using the electric pump — also totally unbelievable, considering he’s 5 months old. That’s partly because I never go anywhere, but also because I was so turned off from when I had to pump right away at the hospital with Jackson (and pretty much any time thereafter) that I purposefully avoided it as long as possible.
The kicker is I got a new pump this time and it was actually pretty comfortable! Much better than my last one. Too bad I won’t need it, haha.
