When we brought our first child home from the hospital, I was breastfeeding. After a week, I began hemoraging and was admitted to the hospital for three days. I tried using the pump, so that I could continue breastfeeding, but unfortunately my milk dried up. With the second child, there were pregnancy complications that caused me to be on long term medication, so breastfeeding was not an option.
Small bottles were were used for water and were glass. Larger bottles were plastic. Cutesy bibs with plastic on the back. And with the first baby, I cooked separate meals with no seasonings, then ran it thru the blender, per pediatrician's recommendation. Second child, no time for that. Lol. Baby food and table food. I remember eating homemade soup, and feeding some to the baby by accident. His expression was priceless!
