As I have mentioned, being a nesting mom-to-be, I was always
looking for a new project that would ease my transition into parenthood. Since
I am one who enjoys convenience and organization; I geared my attention to the area of feeding. Prior
to the arrival of my little one, I had all intentions of solely breastfeeding.
However, due to latching circumstances, it was required of me to supplement
with formula from his birth to present day.
With that said, this feeding station that I have created
works well for nursing mothers, formula mothers and those who do both as do I. This station is located in a
corner of my room:
- Reclining chair
- Cozy blanket
- Pillow
All of these items allow me to comfortably nurse and bottle feed
my little one at any hour of the day and night! Next to the recliner I have my 3 Drawer Storage unit which houses all of my feeding essentials.
On top I have:
- Three reading books which I rotate out Steam Train, Dream Train, 10 Playful Penguins, and Me and My Dad!
- Brest pump machine
- Water bottle
In the first drawer I have:
- Medicines and Supplements
( Gripe water, Nighttime Gripe water, Mylicon Gas Relief and Liquid Vitamins)
In the second drawer I have:
- Extra sterilized bottles
- Spare nipples
- Spare nipple shield
- Enfamil Ready to Use Formula
In the bottom drawer I have:
- Parts for my electronic breast pump
- Manual breast pump
All of my basic needs and the needs of my baby are meet with
my feeding station, making it one less thing to worry about during my busy day.
