that you think made a big difference with child 2 and you wish you'd done with child 1?
-
I put #2 down drowsy but awake from the beginning so she knew how to fall asleep on her own right away.
-
@Andrea: ditto!
-
Waking him up to feed every 2 hours during the day in the beginning! He organized his days and nights very quickly which helped all of us sleep better.
-
Lots!
Many things that made breastfeeding successful with P but not with G.
Not sleep training P... I wish I wouldn't have "trained" G.
Co-bedding
BabywearingAll things that I think have done alot different for P that were different for G.
-
I breast feed more and wash less bottles!
-
@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.
-
I pumped from the very beginning and built a huge stash with #2.
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.
-
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!).
-
@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!
-
@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....
-
@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!
-
I haven't sleep trained my baby girl. 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.
