Back to the Teat

While I had almost given up on our newest little guy feeding from the teat - last night he did it for the first time!   That means we might not have to milk his mom or bottle-feed him anymor.    All day today, he has been nursing properly.  The only problem is that it seems he doesn't do it on his own.  We've been getting him up and helping him find the nipple every few hours all day.  At least it's a start.  The La Leche League leader in me is so excited for him to nurse the way he is supposed to instead of from a bottle!  The lazy shepherdess in me is just glad I don't have to do more milking and bottle feeding.  Win-win!
