And it helped that he loves the bottle. Thankfully my mom is not phased by screaming nonstop babies and was able to watch him while I went out. Although I felt bad at first, I just felt like he had to learn that I couldn't always be there and that I would come back. Now he is good to go as long as his older brother is around. But it was so trying in the beginning. I used to say I somehow ended up doing attachment parenting without even trying! She will grow out of it. Hang in there. And the Baby Bjorn totally helped us through the phase while we were out and at home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968687647847330736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-2418482972246102642013-01-14T11:29:05.645-05:002013-01-14T11:29:05.645-05:00Aren't babies fun?

Let Tom have her (he's a good guy)and let her scream occasionally if you need to get out...she will live. G won't take a bottle and is nursing at 9 months but much less so I do get a 2 or 3 hour period sometimes. You'll get there.MamaRochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744850673287667492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-82232531741301660782013-01-14T07:56:26.495-05:002013-01-14T07:56:26.495-05:00OH I hate when that happens with sales!

Especially when I spend a long time researching how to get the best deal, finding coupon codes, and choosing what I want/need and then discovering that they have rules against combining offers or using coupons on sale items. So frustrating. I always feel so smart when I start out and then there's always that point where I find out that they are one step ahead of me:(Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168099926342803847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-80342672448744803482013-01-13T17:43:06.186-05:002013-01-13T17:43:06.186-05:00Oh man, I totally feel for you. And it's true...Oh man, I totally feel for you. And it's true, you can have one idea of how you'll do this or that with your kids, but they're ultimately the ones who make a lot of decisions. I no longer judge the mother with the SCREAMing child in public. And every one of ours has had different feeding preferences. Jack nursed until we had to start supplementing with him at six months due to not being able to keep up with him after a move, Abigail would not take a bottle. Period. Iris, I pumped for almost exclusively, and Opal is giving me the run-around with nursing AND she's terrible with bottles. And she cries when I leave her with anyone but me for too long. It's at least comforting to know there are others who are experiencing the same frustrations as mothers. It's all worth it in the end.
