Ryan always drinks his bottle laying down. He looked funny trying to drink it sitting up, he doesn't know how! I'm not a fan of feeding my baby while he is just laying by himself. I like to snuggle.
I think I take a picture of him every night while he drinks his bottle in the boppy. He just looks so sweet. I'm always staring at him. Tonight after he fell asleep I just held him & loved on him & smelled his smell. It's emotionally overwhelming holding him when he is sleeping in my arms.
About the Boppy- I did NOT buy Ryan a boppy. I bought this nursing pillow @ Joann Fabrics w/ a 40% off coupon and it came out to like $8. Then I bought the fabric & my mom picked out two other fabrics. She made me the covers for it with a pattern that was on the back of the plastic that the pillow was wrapped in. I don't see how people can buy a PILLOW for $30+ and the slipcovers for like $15-$20. Crazy people. I am SUCH a bargain shopper.
I never laid my babies down with their bottles, I think that's why Aiden still wants me to hold him while he drinks his milk.
ReplyDeleteI got my Boppy with a cover at Ross for $15!
Bahaahha, I said that too and then I went and bought one at Target. Stupid because I never used it, I always hold Harper too unless she is mad at me which seems to happen more frequently these days!
ReplyDeleteI used mine a loooot when I was exclusively nursing. I always thought the boppy was one of the best things ever. I would just wrap it around me, put Ryan on it, and eat & get online. Especially when he wasn't sleeping through the night- I would have fallen asleep nursing without my laptop.
ReplyDeleteNow I use it at night to put Ryan in it while he drinks his bottle and I use my breast pump. Sometimes Tim uses it as a pillow!
But I love to snuggle Ryan while he eats. If I have to put him down for a second- he just looks to precious to not pick back up.
Heeey for our cheap "boppys"! I actually bought the waterproof boppy brand covers to go on my cheap pillow and they fit the same. Kathy made my covers and I bought one at target once too! I love ryan, hes so cute. I want to feed him a bottle!
ReplyDeleteSteven uses it too! The babies don't anymore but I still keep it in the living room because Steven thinks its so comfortable.
