F o r m u l a .
I gave myself a birthday present: stop pumping at work and give Gus formula during the day. Now, it's not something I can cut cold turkey, so I'm down to pumping once a day now, and anything else Gus needs will be formula. Today was the first day that he had formula. Christy told the other women that she thought Gus would balk at drinking formula, and thought it might take a while for him to get used to it.
Not our little boy, oh no. He GULPED it down. Two bottles, even.
The thought of only carrying one bag to work, of not worrying about having enough milk, of not sterilizing the pump bottles...I am elated. I finally gave myself a pat on the back, congratulated myself on having pumped so long, and gave myself a break. Gus is only a month away from being able to take regular milk, so the formula won't last very long, I imagine.
I'm so relieved.
Gus didn't sleep today. He fell asleep in the car as I rubbed his forehead. Just like his Papa.
