First Formula

So, I gave Alyssa her first bottle of formula today. The first try, I made a 4 ounce bottle, but didn't warm it. She just gagged on it, then got really mad at me, so I just nursed her. At the next feeding, I tried the formula again, but this time, I warmed it.
At first, she didn't want to take it. I figured it was because I was holding her like I normally would to nurse. So, I held her away from me with her head in my hand. She sucked the formula right down! I was so proud of her.
She had a little bit of gas, but that's all. I hope the transition goes well! I am hoping that by the time we go to Ohio/Pennsylvania next weekend that she is mostly switched over to formula & that will make the trip A LOT easier on both of us I think.

Hooray for Alyssa!! You are such a good girl for Mommy! I'm sure that Daddy (and Noni) will be more than happy to give you bottles now! There are so many people who love you and want to take good care of you. You are very blessed!
