I planned on writing this post AGES ago, when I assumed
Ripley would happily alternate between boob and bottle without fuss. Fast forward 4 months
and this so hasn’t happened. We are basically Siamese.
Not that I am complaining. I am so grateful that I took to
breastfeeding really easily (after the initial tough bit). I love it so much and have no plans to stop
anytime soon. And Ripley has no complaints; it's champagne on tap for him.
I guess I just thought it would be nice to have the flexibility of expressing every now and again so that I could accept a party/dinner/birthday invitation (sans baba) once in a while. I mean hello, I’d already had a 9-month detox. He is totally worth it of course.
