I think sometimes moms are afraid to admit it's hard because it's what we're "supposed" to be good at, which makes us think it's supposed to be easy. Or the guilt in admitting that sometimes loving your child doesn't erase the difficulty.

Your DOs and DONTs are really great info and something I know would have been a benefit to me when I began nursing for the first time.<br /><br />Isn't side lying just the best? There's something so wonderful about it! And I practically threw myself a party when I finished pumping for the second time (I pumped while at work up to 12 months for each of my girls). While I knew I was not done nursing at 12 months, I couldn't have been more excited to be done with the pump! But pumping allowed me to be able to work and nurse so it was still worth it. <br /><br />Btw - your blog is great - I'm certainly a regular reader! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849934465838013720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991888449707150912.post-68224133731830427192014-02-10T12:03:21.112-05:002014-02-10T12:03:21.112-05:00love your list, and so true...the more I rush the ...love your list, and so true...the more I rush the slower Dino goes and the flipping laundry from hell.

I also am a lover the of the side lying feed. It was hard finding a good position at first but the old and stronger they become the easier that part was for me. We side lay a lot, mostly for nap time. He usually just climbs all over me now while I lay down :)<br /><br />Looking back I really despise the pump. I know it is super helpful and it was good for me to have for the first few months. But it is. Lot f work on top of the breastfeeding a newborn work. I gave up pretty early on with it. I wasn't getting much out and Myles stopped eating from a bottle so it was pointless at that time. <br /><br />I'm so glad you wrote this post. I really enjoy reading others' breastfeeding journeys and what worked for them. It makes me so happy to see other moms breastfeeding and supporting each other. And again thanks for sharing my posts. With having such a small blog, it's really nice to know someone actually reads what I write sometimes :) looking forward to reading more.

I have wondered about her sleep but I don't think I can give her more night sleep (she's in bed for 10 hours) but we are in the process of adjusting her nap routine. You have a good point about winding down though - we could probably stand to try to have more quiet time before bed time. I know this phase is probably just something I have to wait out though. :) Thanks for your thoughts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849934465838013720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991888449707150912.post-54327377102538421432014-01-29T11:45:08.038-05:002014-01-29T11:45:08.038-05:00My five-year old is really slow getting ready to g...My five-year old is really slow getting ready to go anywhere.

My son is just reaching 2 this April actually. I think all phases require lots of patience and learning on their parts and our parts. My son has gone through so many in just under 2 years of living. Do you wonder if Autumn is getting enough sleep? She seems like maybe she is a bit tired maybe. Not sure if going to bed earlier or winding down earlier might help. You seem to be better at routines than me, but our schedules are more laid back because I stay home. I also mentioned before in my comment that sometimes I make my tone a bit more stern with my son and he seems to take me serious at that point. The only thing though is before I get stern, I try to be as patient as possible and make sure that his behavior isn't caused by something I need to fix like maybe he's over tired or something. You seem to have more experience with having 2 since I'm on 1 carrying number 2. I hope what I said helps in some way. Thanks for co-hosting Countdown in Style with us this week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
