Bottle Battle Round #4

Contestant #1:  Luka the Legend
Weapon of choice: new-found intent on winning, armed with a fresh nap under his belt.
Contestant #2:  Mommy now Mildly Meek
Substitute:  none, this is a singles match
Weapon of choice:  remains unchanged - AVENT One-Piece Anti-Colic Valve System fitted with a slow-flow teat - 50ml of Nestle Lactogen Formula (why? because mommy can't keep up feeding a growing 4'ish month old, AND the Medela - so will have to 'get ahead' first before can provide him with expressed breastmilk)


Outcome:
Game 4:  Advantage Mommy (with Luka serving next)
Match notes: With Daddy the Determined braving the freezing (14C/54F) Atlantic waters in his inaugural Cape Peninsula dives with local dive outfit Pisces Divers mommy was left home to brave Game 4 in the Bottle Battle Match alone.  Using the skills and technique demonstrated by the Daddy yesterday, mommy proceeded with trepidation.
Results:  It was a game of 50's.  Formula attempted:  50mls (1.7oz) of that 50mls, Luka ingested probably about 50%. Of the remaining 50%, mommy is wearing about 50% and Luka's bib the other 50%.  So in all, not a terribly bad showing, and certainly an improvement over previous Games.
Match time:  About 45mins, no tears, a little fuss, lots of bouncing and entertainment, and a much better communication strategy between Luka and Mommy.

Will Game 5 be the Match decider?  Stay tuned.
