I think that you need to do what works, taking into account both your needs and the needs of your LO. To me, that is the end goal of attachment parenting. So, if LO is happier on a bit of a schedule, then that's it. Do it, and try not to...

Aww, hugs Kellybeth! It's a bummer your DH has made you feel this way. Maybe he's unaware of how his words make you feel? My husband is typically great about helping me as long as he's asked, but I do know that he feels a lot of "manly"...

Kellybeth, awe the giggles are the best! Jenny, Margot went through the same thing. I just tried to make sure to do one thing each day to get her more used to it- nothing that would overstimulate her, just a calm walk or something (even...

There is hope, people! My baby hated all carriers at first, especially the Moby and sling (tried both at about 3 weeks). Now, at 10 weeks she tolerates and maybe even likes the Bjorn (especially facing out) and Ergo. At some point I just...

Kellybeth, Jenny- I totally know what you mean. Margot isn't really a fussy baby per se; she just needs ME to hold her 24/7. It's hard bc pre-baby I was running 30 miles a week and now that's just not possible bc I refuse to leave her...

My baby, btw, continues her momma's girl streak. We have family over for the baptism tomorrow and she is totally overwhelmed with that- more fussy, needing to be in my arms at all times even for naps. Poor girl. I'll be making a three...

Kellybeth, I'm dealing with KP. Not really doing much to deal with it just yet as it doesn't really bother me- just regular exfoliation and moisturizer (usually almond oil). I feel for you ladies struggling with family size. My husband...
