So is that how they got the term "milk chocolate?"

Maybe one in milk chocolate the other dark chocolate?

But no matter how they're "stacked", i still would love the opportunity to nurse.

Formula is difficult to take the first few times, but I've found that if it becomes a part of nursing while in mommy's lap it gets better. You know what to expect and can start to crave it when it's associated with love from mommy.

Thank you for your answer Chrissy, I think that would make it easier to drink.

This is kind of because of our bottle or breast discussion. Do any of our abies like formula and if so what kinds?

On most days (and nights) I normally just drink milk or juice from my bottle. but, occasionally, I like to treat myself and I like Enfamil Lipil Milk-Based Infant Formula with Iron the best. I don't know how to describe the taste. It has a sweet taste to me.

It gets expensive though, so I only have it on the weekends usually. One can (12 oz.) mixed half-'n-half with water makes three full 8 oz. bottles. Once the can is open, it is only good for 48 hours in the refrigerator. So, I have to finish all three bottles over the weekend.

Thank you for responding babyGirl Jessica. I guess having it on the weekends makes it kind of a treat also.

This little babygirl,loves Enfamil Thickened A+®: Helps Reduce Babies Spit Up.My mommy always gives me at least 1 bottle of formula,after my nightly diapering.My mommy always tells me it is just to help her little baby girl,sleep through the night.I always just passively nurse on my bottle while being cuddled on my mommies or older sisters lap,then actually being burped over there shoulder.Then put down to bed,and tucked all in.

I don't really know much about formula, except my history with it.

When I was a "real" baby, my mother fed me formula in a bottle, and mixed it with cereal and prune juice, around the age of 4 to 6 months old. She told me that she did that so I would make firm, but soft poops on a regular basis.

In essence, my mother "fine-tuned" my bottle feedings, so that my poop was not too hard, and not too soft, but the right firmness, along with the right color and amount in my diaper.

My mother obsessed about my poop!

If my poop was too hard.... she cut back on the cereal.

If it was too soft, she cut back on the prune juice.

This mixture of, formula + cereal + prune juice = healthy, FULL diapers.

Oh, and another thing about formula, certain kinds of formula produce really stinky toots in babies.

My mom told me that when she switched formulas, I had such stinky gas, I could clear the room with my toots.

But my mom said that it was a good thing, becuae it gave her an "early warning" that she was going to have to change a poopy diaper. According to my mom, when she started smelling stinky toots, it was usually only an hour later when I filled my pants.
