- Any particular reason as to why you chose one over the other?
I loved breast-feeding. Wish I could have done so with my oldest. I found it very rewarding.
- Did anyone make their own homemade formula and baby food?
I don't remember, probably not.
- Did you use glass or plastic baby bottles?
Glass
- Did anyone opt for the smaller 4 oz bottles at the start?
Not that I recall
- As an added question, did you use cloth or vinyl bibs at feeding time?
Both, I remember vinyl and I also made cute ones with appliques
I also found breastfeeding rewarding... relaxing, too. Being able to wipe down a vinyl bib after a feeding and drape it over the back of baby's highchair was the greatest! No washing, no fussing.
