Just a drop or 2 works wonders. No massaging necessary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-had-known#post-240173 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:41:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 240173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm favorite-ing this!

E gets clogged ducts now and then and massaging them like the Dr. said doesn't work very well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-i-had-known#post-240146 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:10:20 +0000 SugarplumsMom 240146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a month old today and DH and I are slowly noting the things we could have done to make our lives easier. Of course, every baby is different but could be fun (and helpful) to compare lists.</p> <p>* She'll drink cold milk.<br /> * The bouncer helps her poop.<br /> * In a fix, the old throw blanket on the couch will do. I never had to go across the room to get her real blankets.<br /> * I don't have to hold the most awkward/painful position ever just because she fell asleep. A fly can come and she can wake up any minute anyway. I should just have gotten comfy! After a month of doing this, my body's paying big time!<br /> * I don't have to feed her in picture perfect position. She's comfy spread eagle, on my lap while I watch TV!<br /> * I should have set parent time outs in the beginning -- this is especially needed during her super fussy moments. (As in taking turns and timing breaks for each other).<br /> * Check her neck folds!<br /> * Breast milk will cure a clogged eye duct like magic! </p>
