I was terrified when I found her because I’d never dealt with a bottle baby before. She’s the light of my life 🫶🏻

Thank you! Our bond is super special. She came everywhere with me for the first bit of her life because she needed bottle feedings every 2 hours. When she was about 3 weeks old she started suckling on my clothes/cheek/earlobes. She’d get impatient and just crawl up me to suckle if I didn’t pick her up fast enough. To this day, she still suckles and it’s the sweetest thing. I’d carry her around like this and she’d suckle herself to sleep.
