Ok, I have to write a little message about formula.
Props to all you formula-feeders out there. Nursing always came easy for me. And, I loved it for that reason, it was easy. I was not prepared for how hard formula feeding was! I can't get the bottle temperature right, I get more formula on the counter then I do in the bottle and I have panic attacks whenever I go out into public because I can't stop wondering if I have all the pieces to our Avent bottles. (THEY COME WITH A LOT OF PIECES!) With nursing, as long as I had my nursing cover, I was golden.
Formula-feeding, however, seems to be a lot more involved then that. However, I am very grateful for formula. I'm grateful that it was there as an option when Sloane started... uh... I'll spare you the details, just know it involved blood and a very VERY long doctor's appointment.
The funny thing is, Holynd took formula all the time. (Well, like once or twice a week when I went to school.) I was just never the one to give it to her. It's a lot of work!
I'm pretty sure you need to tell me the bloody dr appointment story!!
