Formula


The day has finally arrived – Will has had his first taste of formula. I’ve put it off for 14 weeks, but after another week where he’s only gained 1 oz, today the Health Visitor agreed that it was time to try boosting his weight by introducing formula.

Traitorous child, he woofed down 6 ozs and then fell asleep while I wept for my lost role as the sole supplier of nourishment. After all the trials and tribulations trying to get breast feeding together, and then finally figuring it out together, I couldn’t help feeling emotional as I gave William his first bottle ever from me. Time is flying by and my little baby is growing up much too quickly.
