Two weeks ago today we said goodbye to breastfeeding. It was becoming a battle every time we tried to breastfeed and I was just over it. I was suplimenting for the most part throughout the day and the morning and evening sessions were very short and often full of stops and starts. The funny thing however is that once we started bottle feeding I found out that is just how he is. It is taking him two to three hours in the morning to finish a six ounce bottle. For the first three ounces he sits still but after that he is on the move. I just put the bottle (now his sippy cup) on the floor and occasionally he comes by for a quick sip. So, we are now a formula family. A week or so after we went to formula we found some great deals on formula at Target. We had gotten two five dollar off coupons from Similac in the mail and when we got to Target one of the end caps had a sale on different formulas. One of those was Similac. They were selling thirty ounce cans for eighteen dollars because they were dented. We got two thirty ounce cans for thirteen dollars a piece, crazy stuff. We probably should have picked up a few others at the eighteen dollar cost but we didn’t think that far ahead. Hopefully when we are due for some more we will find a silimar deal again as I have gotten more coupons in the mail.
Tomorrow we have another appointment. This one is supposed to be a weight check and to redraw his blood but I don’t know if the later will happen. We are once again battling a rash, a cough and he is digging at his ears. If he has another ear infection the blood draw will once again have to be put off. Being sick seems like a never ending thing here lately but I really can’t complain. Despite having infections and rashes he is still very happy. I will update tomorrow on what they had to say.
