Dad feeds Alexa

It seems that Alexa is not a fussy eater. We have recently tried her bottle feeding – first on expressed milk and then on formula. The first time she tried a bottle she seemed happy at first, then after a few minutes started grizzling. Oh no I thought she’s not going to take a bottle – but lo and behold I had neglected to remove the cap so she was not getting any milk! No wonder she was getting frustrated. After removing the cap she was very happy drinking from the bottle. On Wednesday this week we went a step further with trying formula and Dad feeding her. Again she hardly noticed the difference and gulped this down without any fuss.
So Friday I had my first night out leaving David to put Alexa to sleep and with the bottle sterilised ready for formula. I had a work dinner and dance to celebrate the completion of the project I had been working on before leaving on maternity leave. It was fabulous to catch up with work colleagues and to have a dance. Meanwhile, back at home Alexa went to sleep without too much fuss, then instead of waking for her later feed, slept on until half an hour after I got home so David didn’t need to formula feed after all.
