From time to time I receive weird looks when I whip out Gavin’s bottle while we are our running errands. At first, I thought it might be because people don’t see Dad’s feeding their children all the time, but I quickly realized it was due to the fact that my boy is sporting his pretty pink bottle. Like any good baby situation, this one has a good story behind it:
When my wife gave birth to Gavin 11 months ago, as rookie parents you could say we were a bit in over our heads. I will never forget the first night home, when we were expecting to put Gavin in his bassinet, kiss him good night and see him 12 hours later. Boy were we wrong! It’s actually funny to look back at things now that we are 11 month ‘veterans’.
One of the first challenges to overcome was nursing. Like most babies, Gavin wasn’t so sure this was for him to begin with. So, one early morning Danielle was attempting to feed him and he wasn’t cooperating. Anyone who knows me can attest to the the fact that I am a ‘fixer’; I try to make bad situations better. In this case, I had the visions of Gavin not eating for days and crying for even longer. My solution was a late night trip to the store to get feeding supplies. Needless to say, there are not many stores open that sell baby supplies at this time of night. When I did find a store that was open and asked the nice gentleman who was waxing the floors what isle the baby food was in, it was a mad dash to buy anything I could get my hands on. Who knew there were so many different types of bottles, nipples, inserts, food, etc.!
As I should have known, by the time I got home, the situation was much better and Gavin had a full belly. The next morning Danielle and I had a good laugh when we looked at all the stuff I had purchased, including the 8 oz (it was almost as big as he was) pink bottle!
