I felt like I was going to break my fragile, precious baby. I think I called my Mom a million times during the day to ask for advice about nursing. It was just a year ago, but I feel like I've learned so much.Carolynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133881766620585830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229132.post-25945103593704050012009-03-30T08:47:00.000-07:002009-03-30T08:47:00.000-07:00We moms so often do learn just by trial and error,...We moms so often do learn just by trial and error, and you know what -- it usually eventually works. Because not only are each of us moms different, so are each of our kids! Just take a look at my three -- all of them off-center, blessedly (and sometimes scarily) unique. Some things stayed the same in the bedtime routine, but each one needed a little bit different uniquely-you approach. Meg, you are onto something Big. Glad you discovered it so early -- smart as you are! and a great mom.Linnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229132.post-90473713882447067342009-03-22T18:30:00.000-07:002009-03-22T18:30:00.000-07:00I'm right there with you, sister!

I had the EXACT same feelings as you thinking they were all alone and feeling abandoned...darn hormones make you crazy! Anyway, I still had slight anxiety when we finally moved them to the crib in their own rooms (around 6 months for us because I am a lazy nighttime nurser who refused to get out of bed three times a night).<BR/><BR/>I'm also a big reader and learned quickly, like you, after having Gabbie that you cannot subscribe to one method and expect it to answer all of your questions/problems. A mother's instinct is a very real thing and you usually know what's best for your baby. Unfortunately, I don't always take my own advice and still find myself Googling furiously in the middle of the night for the problem du jour. :)<BR/><BR/>I have no doubt you're a fabulous mommy with a fantastic little girl who loves you dearly. There's nothing like it in the world!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483198531182026388noreply@blogger.com
