I’ll Sleep with Anything

I’ll sleep with anything that needs to be warm in the middle of the night. At the moment I’m sleeping with two bottles of water. Every night I make two bottles, throw the lids on and put them in bed next to me. (Sorry, dear – spot’s taken.)

I measure out the scoops of formula and put them in the handy formula dispenser next to the bed, and then I’m ready for action late at night.

When Brian wakes up, I’m a bottle slinger. I can have a nice warm bottle ready in less than thirty seconds without leaving the room. And if I don’t, Brian’s fussing wakes up Jake who thinks he needs Mom and a little milk, too. One baby in the middle of the night is acceptable. A baby and a toddler awake at exactly the same time fussing for mom is not desirable. At all.

Apparently I’m not the only one who’s thought of this. Mom own mother used to sleep with a bottle of formula, too. Great minds…
