Got my "nuky". I love the cherry. I did get caught by my girlfriend, but after discussion, she was very supportive. She is a pediatrician, and told me that if I were to start using the nuky, then I need to use the ortho teat. She ordered one, and it came today. I tried it and it is alot better than the one I had years ago. She got the long stem so it reached further back and didnt feel like I had to work on it to get any enjoyment out of it. It took a few days to get a feel of sucking on it. She surprised me tonight with a bottle that had a big "adult baby" teat. I told her I was interested in trying formula during our discussion when she found out, and she introduced a mix of formula with milk. It was just enough to get the taste but not enough to get me sick from it.
I had to agree to her rules. First I can only have my cherry nuky 1 hour before bed, then must take the ortho for the rest of the night. I can choose when to sleep with it, but must sleep with it at least 3 times a week. Second, she chooses when I take a bottle at night, and only she can mix the bottle. She explained she will only give milk with formula and doesnt want me trying or I can get very sick. I have to wear a diaper in the evenings when I get a bottle for the reason that she doesnt want me to have an accident without protection since once the bottle goes in, I will not be allowed to pause until I sucked the bottle dry. Lastly, I had to agree that on weekends other than at night she can choose that I need some "baby time" and have me use either nuky or suck a bottle or both. I also had to agree that slowly she will introduce other baby items to be used during my "baby time" including onesies, and baby food.
