Formula milk vs. Breastmilk


For the last 6 months, I have been feeding Ryan breastmilk (except for the first few days when he had to take formula due to his jaundice condition).

So, we decided to see if he would take formula yesterday. I heard of a lot of stories where the kids won't take formula as they don't like the taste and parents have to mix breastmilk with formula to get baby use to the taste...

Our test was to give Ryan 2 ounces of formula to see if he would reject it.....

We gave him the formula, he tasted it, thought about it for 0.2 seconds and continued drinking till he was done!

urm.... am I suppose to feel proud that my baby likes formula.... or should I be bothered that I spent the last 6 months feeding him breastmilk, and he is not bothered what kind of milk he gets......

:P

in other news..... Ryan can now hold his own bottle when he is drinking milk...:)


He also gets all excited when he see his milk bottle! We warm up his glass mikl bottle in another glass bottle, so when he hears the cling cling noise of the bottles knocking on each other, he perks up his head and turns towards the bottles...

Also, when he is done drinking from the bottle and I put the bottle on the side table, he stares at the bottle, hoping to get more milk from it....:D
Picture below shows Ryan little dimple.... we just noticed it....


Here is Ryan playing outside during the recent heatwave.
