All Bottled Up and Nowhere to Go

Tonight Matt and Jody tentatively tried a technique known to triplet parents as "bottle propping," in which you nest each triplet in a boppy pillow (a U-shaped soft pillow) and then give them their bottles, which are then balanced on rolled flannel blankets or some other surface. It was a runaway success. Ty especially loved the boppy pillow and looked extra comfortable. It definitely made the 3:30 a.m. feeding go quickly as well; it cuts the time that each feeding takes down a full half-hour to an hour. That leaves more time to cuddle them afterwards!

Here are pictures from the bottle propping experiment...
