For all the men out there whose wives will one day have babies:
NEVER EVER give the baby a bottle to be nice so your wife can sleep in. It may seem nice to you, but it's really not. First, the bottle was pumped with the sole intention of being given to the baby when she isn't around. Hence, she is 5 ounces short when the baby is at daycare tomorrow. Also, any day that she has off with the baby is a day to regulate her milk production. The pump at work has no idea how much the baby needs from day to day, the baby does. So, she needs the baby to "prime" her to get her back to where she needs to be in milk production. And finally, the milk she makes has to come out some how, so you giving the baby a bottle so she can sleep in means shes going to have to pump when she wakes up. which sucks. so, if she hasn't asked you to give the baby a bottle in 6 months so she can sleep in, just put the baby in bed with her and she'll work it out. Promise.
