Chatswood Library

I took Jasper to the Chatswood Library and it turned out that he wasn't quite ready for it yet so it was better for him to play outside the library with the pigeons. Those are the Osh Kosh Shoes that he's wearing which are meant to be for indoors as they only have soft leather soles, I guess they are ok for grass.



He has been off the bottles for months and I suddenly miss the convenience of bottle feeding - it was simply adding powder to warm water and shake it. Bottles never leak. With cup feeding it is either cow's milk from the fridge and have to find a "magic" way to warm up the milk before serving to baby, or try to mix formula powder in warm water in a sippy cup and the trick is that most sippy cups leak a lot when shaking (milk everywhere) and I can only use a spoon to stir the liquid instead of shaking it.

It is not easy for a person like me who go out all day. If I go out I have the option of bringing fresh milk and an ice pack (and a bottle warmer), or bring a thermo of warm water and formula powder. I now find myself washing baby cups all day even though it was only 2 times or 3 times a day, straws are difficult to wash. So I bought a pack of $1-$2 with 50-100 straws. He is quite ok with hard straws but silicone straws are much softer.
