Kingsley: Bottle

18th January 2014

Today our son turns six weeks of age. His Jiajia Dora is attentive and loving and all she wants is to ensure is that her grandson is fed enough. Same with me but ooh how my boobs ache! Enter…the bottle! Ideal for giving sore nipples a rest, and allowing those nearest and dearest to bond with the baby (while mumma gets her hair done at the salon)…

Jiajia Dora thrilled to feed King (while I get my hair done. Yay!)

Kingsley took very easily to being bottlefed. He can guzzle 100ml at a time and is ravenous for more, so much so that he ‘grabs’ the bottle in little fists, suctioning it to his pursed lips. Such a glutton…

Holding on to the precious.

It was newshour when I returned from the salon, for Kingsley had mastered the use of his little hands…to hold on to his bottle! Mum was over the moon to have witnessed it, and I got a little weepy that my newborn was growing up all too quickly…

At six weeks of age, Kingsley holds on to his bottle of precious.
