**hi-5** my kids are like yours, both of them were/are carried to sleep

While I am envious of those who can sleep on thier own, I am actually enjoying the time bonding with them. For my #1, I carried him to sleep till he was close to 1yo, can't remember exactly. And until now, I still accompany him to sleep, but don't have to carry, just lying by his side. During this time, we talk, we sing, we play, etc, the very precious 10-30min for just the 2 of us, very nice

For my #2, is my hubby who carries her to sleep since I am with #1. He enjoys it so much until even after my baby falls asleep, my hubby continues to let her sleep on his chest until he needs to do something else, and he calls that very special bonding

Ya, I know, then we have to stay up later to finish running the errands, but it's ok for us.

Just curious - if you are pumping for your baby's next day usage, why do you store your EBM in milkbag? Isn't that double the work (to pour in the milk bag, then pour into the bottle for baby to drink)? Get a few more milk bottles?
