I wish I would have told more people to fuck off in regards to my pregnancy/parenting/etc. Damn having to be all polite and PC sometimes...

I wish I would have branched out more in my wearing of LO. I have worn her most day since she was 2 weeks old, but once she got too big for the moby (around 2 mo) I started wearing her in a ring sling and that was it. I wish I'd bought a woven wrap at that point to wear her in, or even a tula then. She still looooooves being worn in my ring sling at 15 mo but she doesn't do nearly as well in wovens or tulas and I think it is because I started those with her so late (7 mo for woven, 12 mo for tula). And I wish I'd worn her just around the house more. We usually only wear when we go out and now that she is into EVERYTHING it would be easier if she was happy being worn at home but she just isn't, mostly.

I wish I wouldn't have tried so hard to breastfeed. I don't think that it did her or me or my marriage any good to try as hard as I did. And if we'd have switched to formula earlier I think we could have gotten out a LOT more when she was a newborn which would have been good for mine and DH's mental health and would have made LO a bit more flexible.
