It Takes a Couch to Feed a Baby

Not that we're feeding the actual couch to M, because a) she hasn't the teeth for it b) we're not trying to give her pica* and c) it's a really nice couch, and we're not going to waste it feeding it to an infant who probably wouldn't appreciate it in the first place.

Where was I? 

Ah yes, needing the couch to feed the baby.

Perhaps what I am more properly saying is that it is more comfortable for the person feeding the baby if they have access to the whole couch during the process, because then said person can put a laptop computer or a kindle or a lunch next to them, and entertain themselves while M eats and then often naps afterwards.

And tonight, M got comfortable enough with the whole 6 pm bottle feeding by Leo to pass out on him.

*I'm pretty sure that you can't give someone pica, though I suppose we could create a stressful environment and hope that it manifested itself as consumption of noncomestibles.  But we're not going to do that, because we actually don't want her to eat nonfood items.  That's why we're not feeding her the couch.
