I’ve mentioned before that I’m formula feeding Missy Moo. I tried and tried to breastfeed, but C’est la vie, it wasn’t mean to be. End of story.
While there are lots of fun and silly stories about moms who have had awkward situations when breast feeding (read: leaking, baby trying to latch onto someone else, etc.), there are still misadventures for us formula feeding mommies.
Like every mom, you try to be on the ball. On deck and awake at all hours whenever necessary.
But sometimes when you haven’t had your cup of coffee this happens…
Which also results in this…
And then you have an area of your kitchen where it looks like the night after some junkies forgot to clean up after a night of blow.
But at least the kitchen smelled nice. Have you ever noticed that? Formula smells pretty sweet until you mix it with water. Then it’s chalk full of iron-smelling goodness smelliness. And sadly, when the formula is barfed up, it doesn’t smell nice and sweet. Which reminds me of a time when my childhood dog Muffin ate a bunch of coconut and when she barfed it up, the result smelled like cookies… but that’s a story for another day never.
Omg Virginia does this ever bring back memories. Lol
Ha ha. I bet it does. But you had this times three! I can’t even begin to imagine who you and your wife survived the early years! Then again, you’re still doing an amazing job surviving five years later!
Oh Virginia that too brings back fond memories…nursing and leaving milk droplets from my room to my son’s room; my grandson was bottle fed and I am so happy as his first month, I did the night feedings and I am blessed with wonderful memories of our bonding…and spilling lots of that powdery stuff on my daughter’s kitchen floor too:) Keep those blogs coming no matter how short, Virginia…it is so nice to relive these fond memories:) huggggs
Thanks Cheryl-Lynn! I’m glad you’re enjoying my posts. I’ll be sure to keep them up, especially if they help bring back memories; fond and otherwise. ;)
