43. I'll give you milk, my baby!

The previous story is here!




Please make our baby's milk!



I started to make 40ml of milk for our baby, Kotaro, as my wife asked me to do.




I measured out 40 ml of powdered milk into a baby bottle and added boiling water.



Then, after making sure the powdered milk was firmly dissolved into the hot water, I turned the bottle around in the ice water and let it cool until it reached the temperature of human skin.




Tada--!!



I was surprised when I saw the finished milk. 😲

40ml of milk



40ml of milk is soooo little. 🤣hahaha




By the way, Kotaro's powdered milk is "Meiji Hohoemi.



My sister gave me a bottle of powdered milk, saying, "I have some unused powdered milk at home if you want to use it," and it was "Meiji Hohoemi."




I held Kottaro in my left arm and let him drink the milk in my right hand.




Then, Kotaro dexterously moved his mouth and began gulping milk from the bottle. 😲




Oh no, I'm so impressed. 😭




It's amazing how babies can drink milk even though they weren't taught 😭😭😭.




Kotaro drinking milk is soooo cute too!! 😍😍😍

By the way, we had a total of four baby bottles from two different manufacturers, Pigeon and Betta, each made of heat-resistant glass and plastic, respectively.



After rotating through 4 different bottles, we found that the Pigeon SoftTouch Bottle was the easiest for Kotaro to drink from.



Since the Pigeon bottle was also used for breastfeeding at the maternity hospital, Kotaro must have been used to it.




So, if you are going to buy your baby bottles, I strongly recommend that you first buy the same bottle that your baby uses at the maternity hospital. 😁✨




For portability, Plastic baby bottles that are resistant to breakage are convenient.



On the other hand, Glass baby bottles are convenient because they transfer heat more quickly than plastic ones when cooling milk in ice water or when warming it in boiling water.




It would also be useful to have a Brush for washing baby bottles and a Sterilization case that can be used in a microwave oven.




I hold Kotaro upright, full of milk, gently pat him on the back, and when he burps, the milk time is complete. 😜
