At some point in the second week, someone suggested that it
wouldn't be the end of the world if Caterpillar had a bottle
of formula so I could have a break. But from my perspective
(being the only person around who had never even touched a
baby that small before, much less had experience dealing
with one), if anyone could feed her, then there was
absolutely nothing I was needed for.
