aaahhhh vix, they are so cute!!! just look at how healthy they are...streching out like that

& c is so precious, just wanna give him a million hugs kisses!!!!
re the nipple shield....it's that long coz when a baby bf's they suck the nipple so hard that it becomes that lenght in their mouths....the biggest trick with them is to get it in his mouth as deep as possible super quick.....never used them, but my next door neighbour did

really hope the expresing & bottle feeding works!!! it's so not worth the stress & exhaustion for both you & A to keep him on the breast xxx
My take on the maid * creshe thing....
yes it's awesome to have C at home & not sick, but at the same time his a toddler & they are freakin exhausting....I learned that very quickly being at home......so just maby the creshe thing is not a bad idea, try & find out how strict the school is about sick kids....maby C is one of the lucky kids that dont pick up all the bugs

& it'll give you so much more time to do youre things & take care of YOU!!! & the friends at school will be good for C & all the stimulation they get at school is good & then he doesn't have to share his mommy all day long, coz when at school they forget about mommy & daddy & babies & not getting all the attention....
plus to that is, you dont have to have someone in you're house

even if it's just for like 3 days a week or maby half day.....
just my 2c worth
