Liesel likes a bottle, as does her brother. The problem is that she likes to sip on it for long time. Unlike her brother who can gulp down 4 oz. in as many minutes (and then on occasion require more), she likes to take her time and savor the flavor of the milk. This period is often longer than Mom or Dad wants to hold the bottle for her, and since she isn’t holding it for herself, that means effort beyond what they can provide for protracted periods.
She needs the calories, but feeding a child shouldn’t be a P90X isometric exercise. Think of holding your arm at 80 degrees extended for 45 minutes with a weight at the end of it. At first, it is easy, but it quickly becomes a challenge and when your biceps and forearms begin burning. Thus, the New Family Parents came up with the following solution.
Don’t worry, she was monitored the entire time. And, while it beats a $20 bottle holder, she did get hot. So if anyone knows of someone willing to sell a bottle tender or two (like this http://www.bottlesnugglers.com/) to the Parents cheap, leave a comment below.
