Wahoo!</p> <p>I think feeding has been the toughest. BF was really hard in the beginning. She was slow to start solids because she got sick around the 6 month mark. She's a good eater now though at one year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1824227 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:40:45 +0000 Orchid 1824227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have some oversupply issues and some light green poop for a while, but that was resolved relatively quickly. Sleep is by far our greatest challenge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1824218 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:36:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1824218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>feeding. at times discipline made me want to pull my hair out, but since you have to feed them so many times a day every day, that definitely is the biggest challenge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1824193 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:17:19 +0000 Canoli 1824193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For #1 all three at some point in his life. Definitely sleep for #2' he's 17 weeks old and STTN from 5-13 weeks, then I went back to work and he decided sleep is overrated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1824178 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:05:16 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1824178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALL OF THEM, at different times.<br /> Newborn stage: sleep. It was just so horrible.<br /> in-between (15-22m) : discipline<br /> now: discipline and eating. He doesn't eat, but yet asks for food, throws it or smashes it into something. So, I can decide if that's a behavioral issue or a food issue. I say both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1823920 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:46:44 +0000 .twist. 1823920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep was definitely our biggest issues so far. I am still very hesitant to change anything sleep related in fear it will backfire and we will be back to waking up ever single hour! </p> <p>However, now that sleep is (knock on wood) seeming to normalize, pickiness is starting to take over our household. My dog has never eaten so well and my kid has learned how to throw via the food on his tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1823913 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:41:48 +0000 Mae 1823913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>judging from my 423 posts about feeding...

First we had breastfeeding issues and practically lived at the LC's office. Then, he needed OT for solids. Now, we are dealing with general, but oh-so-frustrating, toddler pickiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1823857 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:55:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1823857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: yep, gotta love up for the day at 5:45 :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1823853 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:54:34 +0000 LovelyPlum 1823853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: this sounds about right. Her sleep isn't great at all, but I am certain that it is because she is in pain from eating foods she is intolerant to. Hope both get better for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1823772 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:20:26 +0000 jetsa 1823772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: yup DS too. Normally when he gets up we bring him to bed with us and he nurses and occasionally he'll go back to sleep other times like yesterday he nursed and then gave his dad a slobbery kiss at 5:45 right in the eye. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you/page/2#post-1823761 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:16:12 +0000 Mamasig 1823761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep!!!! Though at almost 2, DS1 has been getting whiny and throwing fits. </p> <p>For DS2, nothing. He eats, sleeps, and behaves like I expect a 3 month old would. He's a good baby :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823733 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:07:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 1823733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Agreed. Right now we're having food issues, but behavior/discipline is a close second...he's testing his/our boundaries...and we've gone through sleep issues, although those are pretty good right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823725 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:05:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 1823725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now it is tantrums/behavior. She has been having spouts of extreme naughtiness right now, making it very hard on this very tired mom in her first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823720 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:04:18 +0000 Kemma 1823720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: my LO is 22 months but ten hours is STTN for her and she maxes out at 12-13 hours of sleep per day. LO actually gets more night sleep when she wakes and we then nurse and cosleep!</p> <p>@looch: yup, bf'ing in the very early days, sleep at around 6-7 months and now it's toddler behaviour (or rather, my behaviour when reacting!)</p> <p>@Danizaur: I've been part time bedsharing with Miss A for over twelve months and it's worked really well for us :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823702 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:56:10 +0000 travellingbee 1823702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh sleep......

He's had a 2 nights where he wanted to play at 4 we were up for an hour and then he slept for another. I think he just has low sleep needs. He only gets 12-13 hours total a day and is happy unless he's hungry or tired.</p> <p>We tried scooting it back because 5:30 is early on the weekends and no matter what time I put him down he's up between 5:30-6 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823685 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:49:40 +0000 Pirouette 1823685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a really hard time voting, because her feeding issues have caused her sleep problems, but the sleep problems bother me more than the feeding problems, so... i voted for sleep only because i'm so tired these days, but the feeding problems have actually been far more problematic for us. plus the feeding is getting better and the sleep is getting worse, so i suspect if i vote again in a month, sleep will have been the right answer (hello 9 month regression!) :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823682 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:47:22 +0000 lawbee11 1823682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: So what time does he wake up for the day?? M would be so crabby on 10 hours of sleep....girl loves her sleep, she just has trouble staying asleep without nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823668 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:44:09 +0000 jetsa 1823668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: night-weaning made the difference for us, well it's been a week lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823665 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:43:17 +0000 jetsa 1823665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep, we just night weaned and we've been getting 10 hour stretches for the first time in 11 months but that's it 10 hours and he's up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-of-these-parenting-areas-has-been-the-most-difficult-for-you#post-1823575 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 12:54:46 +0000 Pancakes 1823575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @looch.
