I didn't even hold my DD much at the hospital. DH did EVERYTHING .. even helped me BF (because we had to use a little feeding dopler thingy to try and teach DD to latch)! I don't even have a single picture of myself with DD at the hospital.. what kind of mother doesnt!?<br /> So once we got home DD spent a lot of time in her bouncer and swing those first few weeks :-(. I hope to not have that happen again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-to-do-different-on-your-next-maternity-leave#post-344738 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:24:14 +0000 autumnlove 344738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope I have a better start to breastfeeding because I don't want to pump as much as I did on my last maternity leave!</p> <p>Hopefully, with less pumping...I can spend more time enjoying my newborn and doing things around the house. I plan on keeping DD in daycare either FT or PT so I can bond with the baby.</p> <p>What are some things you would do differently for your next maternity leave? </p>
