Emma and Ewan's World

Suzanne and I want to be the best possible parents we can be. And like any parent, we want nothing but the best for our child. This desire was behind the Mothercare all in one cloth diapers. A product that I think has had a profound effect on the sanity of Emma's parents, as I attribute them in no small part to Emma sleeping through the night, having no issues with diaper rash, etc. Our desire for "good parenting" status is also behind our very regimented sleep schedule for Emma (much to the chagrin sometimes of friends and family, as it means that we often leave the party early) and it is behind one of the most difficult decisions, breast feeding. Suzanne (God bless her) has made considerable sacrifices in order to make sure that Emma received the best possible diet on earth, mother's milk. In the beginning, there were issues with infections galore that caused her considerable pain, in addition to the agony of Emma's incredibly developed suction muscles. So it was with much trepidation yesterday that Emma received her first bottle of formula. I was worried that she would not take it after 8 months of her mother's milk... And apparently was worried for no reason, as she sucked down the bottle like it was going to be ripped from her grasp at any moment.
