So the little man takes after his dad. He is gassy beyond all belief. So we are trying a different bottle again. The other baby at his new daycare has this funky anti-gas bottle so we are trying that. Real quick...did you see that? There is only one other baby at his new daycare. And she is only there three days a week. So we pretty much have a personal babysitter for Alex. Once again, better than naked and screaming? Hells to the yes! Anyway, back to the bottle. It has a bunch of different pieces and I feel like a chimp in a lab trying to put it together. I expect to see scientists in long lab coats writing down my progress and how long it takes me to put it together. The bottle has a ventilation system to avoid the vacuum problem and keep excess bubbles out of the formula in turn keeping excess bubbles out of the baby. Good good. My problem with it? Holy guacamole is it expensive. $18.99 for two bottles. $18.99. Currently we have 9 of the bottles we were using so as to not have to wash bottles 709 times a day. Quick math to replace with the new bottles...$85.45. For bottles. Needless to say, I bought a two pack yesterday and am washing them as we go to see if these suckers make a difference.
Add that to the insurance/hospital bills and he is quickly turning out to be very expensive. I wonder what kind of return policy the hospital has. Those bills may as well be written in Japanese for as well as I understand them. It seems to me I am being charged for everything twice which I am shockingly not ok with. Lucky for me, I have a kick ass friend that used to work in the world of health insurance. We'll get this thing figured out...or go broke tryin'.
