Breast feeding

Ryan and I attended "Breast Feeding Couples" on Saturday morning. 

When you walked in, you needed to sign in and grab a baby.  I, of course, being the champion of equal rights that I am, grabbed the black baby doll out of the entire pile of white babies. 

I thought my husband was going to have a heart attack.  "Courtney!  You can't take that doll!"  "YES, I can!"  "No you can't.  Are you serious right how?  What if a black couple comes in and they want the black baby?" 

Being that I do not have to explain myself or defend my actions, I promptly  turned around with the black baby and chose our seats.  It was SO funny how upset Ryan was =)  He really needs to loosen up a little....

Things we learned in the class:

1. The husband is in charge of waste management.
2. When needing to remove the child from the breast, you must stick your finger in his mouth and fish hook him off.
3. The cradle hold, the cross-cradle hold, and the football hold.
4. Babies don't cry - they sing!  And only healthy babies are able to sing, so you should be grateful each time your baby sings!

At the end of class, the instructor made the husbands demonstrate the various breast feeding techniques.  Here is Ryan practicing both the cradle hold and cross-cradle hold at the same time.  He's so cute! =)
