This morning I tried feeding milk to my daughter changing nipple number from her normal Avent #1 to #2. She’s 7 months old and she ought to be using #3 or #4 at her age. She finished her milk easily. Sometimes there is struggle to feed at that time in the morning.
The last time we upped her level, she choked on milk, she was 3-months old then so today kinda marked a new milestone. A kid’s milestone is big deal. It is proud and a sad moment at the same time. Experiencing it could give me tears. It draws sentimental thoughts back to previous moments like when her being too tiny and fragile for her NB size diapers and all the way back to the first tears of seeing her being born on that early December morning. Aside from getting sentimental on the past, I also think forward to the future, future milestones, of her getting more independent of us and growing bigger. I remember early on complaining on how babies are very hard to put to sleep. Somebody said the time will come when the child will do it on her own, maybe does not want to be carried or whatever. You are going to miss the times the baby wants to be hold. That is true with my wife’s nephew who is a year older and just wants to crawl, not carried around. With that in mind, we just have to enjoy every milestone there is to experience. Babies grow up fast.
