Feeding the Troops

 WHAT does it take to feed the twins in a 24 period?


Soldiers at the ready.

The New Family Parents will go through a cabinet shelf of bottles every day. These will be washed, dried and prepared for the next feeding (the formula is measured and ready for mixing when needed). Other bottles are ready-to-feed (mixed) and waiting in the refrigerator.

No, it is not like the Duggars, but it still takes time, and is a task not easily done with a babe hanging on one's front (unlike blogging).

Feedings and other notes are recorded on the feed board.

Parents with recent experience feeding infants will notice that the New Family Parents are "demand" feeding, i.e. responding to a need to feed when the child demands it. This is opposite "schedule" feeding, when parents will only feed at specific times of the day. The Parents will begin transitioning to a schedule soon.
