I regret doing that with my son. (But if I hadn't, our little girl might not be with us today LOL). I think I am more in tune with and willing to accommodate the baby's needs this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1096058 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 22:26:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1096058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: that's exactly what happened with my first! I didn't go back to work til she was 7 months so by then my supply was already established and it was near impossible to build a stash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1096042 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 22:17:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1096042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: i wish i had weaned her sooner (before 18 months), but there was always an excuse -- sick, starting daycare, traveling.... and now that she can talk, it has become even worse! i know it's going to be extremely difficult to wean.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1096031 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 22:09:08 +0000 matador84 1096031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I didn't start pumping until like a week before I went back to work-huge mistake. Def starting earlier this time! @Mrs. Bee: I have been trying to wean my 12 month old but he isn't having any part of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1096026 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 22:06:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1096026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i breastfed Olive and exclusively pumped with Charlie. it has had an immeasurable effect on our relationship because she's still going at 23 months (even though I want to wean!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1096025 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 22:04:31 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1096025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped from the very beginning and built a huge stash with #2. </p> <p>With my first, I didn't pump unless I had to be away so really only pumped enough to replace a feeding or two. I like knowing I have plenty of backup milk if I need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1096020 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:59:45 +0000 matador84 1096020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @chopsuey: def have to do drowsy but awake with 2. I just didn't know with 1 and I swear its why we had so many sleepy woes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1095984 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:31:25 +0000 autumnlove 1095984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I breast feed more and wash less bottles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-something-you-did-differently-between-child-1-amp-2#post-1095978 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:27:38 +0000 runsyellowlites 1095978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots!</p> <p>Many things that made breastfeeding successful with P but not with G.<br /> Not sleep training P...
