There's a method to my madness

Every day I pack Easton's bag, it looks a little like this:

And- because there are those of you out there who think I'm anal and way too detailed...

(I prefer to think of myself as organized)

I thought I'd let you know WHY I do what I do...

Bottles #1 & #2 contain 5 ounces total of fresh and frozen breast milk.

Frozen, then thawed, breast milk is only good for 24 hours.

Bottle #3 is 6 ounces fresh breast milk.

I do this because, in the event I pick Easton up early, bottle #3 is all fresh and I don't have to waste any, I can save it for the next day. 

Throwing out breast milk gives me the shivers!

I absolutely HATE wasting milk- free or not!

Small containers have:

1 ounce fruit for breakfast

today's frut was peaches- and he wasn't a big fan.

I don't think they were ripe enough- maybe a tad tart.

1 ounce cereal for breakfast

1 ounce fresh milk to make cereal

1 ounce veggie for lunch

today's veggie was sweet potatoes.

We're gonna have to get some greens in the diet or he's gonna be orange!

There is also a method to the timing.

At school mainly, it's important for him to be fed at these times so he's fed and ready to go by the time I pick him up at 3:45.  This way he has a full tummy and can get a little cat nap in on the way home.  If he sleeps till 4:30 or 4:45 he's good to go till bedtime!

Now, see there, there is a reason I do what I do!
