Weaning of the boob.

I never thought I would actually say this but, yes I am weaning Reya off the boob. I am still pumping and giving Reya breast milk but not nursing. Hey mommy has to go back to work and leave daddy here alone to do the feeding, changing, bathing, you know... all that Jazz.

I have been banished to the other room... and Reya is screaming and crying her little eyes out. Yes, folks it's all over a little bottle, more like several very expensive bottles. Apparently, Reya doesn't like the ones we already have (Advent). So I did what any mother would do... I considered my options and consulted Google. After several mother blogs and websites I consulted my other friend Amazon.com. Here are my "educated" options...

Option #1- Advent "cause they are better for breastfed babies"
Option #2- Playtex Natura nurser, I didn't even want to go there... I mean after buying the "drop ins", wide nipple, and bottle...I decided that was way to complicated and decided to go with...
Option #3- Adiri bottles. They are about 12 dollars a pop! But as I was standing there in front of the wall full of bottles I actually thought, "This has got to work, it practically says so on the package!" So I got home all excited got home, handed the bottle to Tyler and went to go sit in my corner twiddling my thumbs, crossing my fingers, praying for a God...

Thats when I decided to consult Google and amazon again. I found this bottle that had a double nipple but was weary at first but after I found this amazing review on Amazon.com. I decided to go with Option#4. I mean in her review she wrote "I could just kiss the person who invented this bottle" she also explained she so excited that this bottle worked, that she was going to go get a haircut because she can finally leave the baby with someone.

I just had to have this bottle (the "messiah" of all bottles)

The First Years breastflow. With my head held high I left the store with the product in hand. I could't wait to jam this bottle in her tiny, cute, perfect little mouth.

Needless to say option #4 didn't work like the review suggested.

We are in for a rough couple of days ahead of us...to be continued.
