John hits the bottle

Due to the weird feedback loop of jaundice-sleepiness-lazy feeding and the subloop of lazy feeding-poor latch-Mom in pain-anxiety for baby, John has hit the (doctor mandated) bottle pretty hard. He'll probably be on it for a day or two until his color improves. In the meantime all I have to do is rest and pump while Christian has graciously volunteered to do all of the bottle cleaning and bottle feeding. To keep things clear in his five-day-old mind, John should never associate me with bottles. Just as well, since we'll soon be back to the breastfeeding trenches.
