It was really difficult and I felt like no matter what I tried, nothing was helping. That and being a SAHM when none of my friends were, so it was quite a lonely life during the weekdays. Now, I have a few mommy friends I've met and we're in the process of scheduling more regular play dates, which are fun. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100853 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:20:01 +0000 shellio 100853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding, hands down. I hope I have an easier time like @cupcakemama the next time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100769 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 00:45:53 +0000 cupcakemama 100769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The schedule ( and working out one!) and finding time for me. It's really hard to just completely lose yourself as a person and just become this feeding, changing, cleaning thing! Also developing confidence that I did know what I was doing and that I did know how to look after LO.</p> <p>I actually found breastfeeding the easiest thing! LO and I made an awesome team from the get go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100766 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 00:25:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 100766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought whatever I was going thru was the hardest til it was over and the next hard thing came up. The most recent difficult thing has been tantrums. But looking back, overall I think nursing and being a sahm were the two toughest things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100762 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 23:28:49 +0000 enjollah 100762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lack of sleep due to baby's mix up of his night and days....also the inconsistency of it all! I can count on one hand where my LO has slept for 4 hours straight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100690 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:29:40 +0000 SAHM0811 100690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding for sure. I had so many issues the first time around. Thank goodness I learned from them and am nursing #2 just fine now (except she doesn't take bottles, but that's another story!). Haha okay I guess that's our biggest challenge the 2nd time... Too much breastfeeding, no bottles :/ I never saw that coming! There's always something... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100657 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:46:21 +0000 Andrea 100657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing is definitely up there! I also think it hard to take care of a newborn that you're not getting very much feedback from i.e. before they smile, have a personality, etc. Now that my LO is older and talks, it is so much easier, even when she throws tantrums for no reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100648 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:36:31 +0000 heffalump 100648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, nursing was very tough for me, so much that I quit! I think dealing with mommy guilt for that, and for not being able to be there for LO like I want to due to migraines. Stupid mommy guilt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100571 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:22:58 +0000 chopsuey 100571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely nursing and figuring out a schedule. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-find-the-most-challenging#post-100529 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:27:30 +0000 autumnlove 100529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What was the your biggest challenge after becoming a parent for the first time? Mine was definitely breast feeding!!! Even with the class i took &amp; help from lactation consultants...the first 2 weeks was very difficult! I shed a lot of tears but now it is going well. </p>
