Interesting! We swore by swaddling with DD1 -- it made a HUGE positive difference in her sleep. For DD2, we tried it a bunch of times in the first 2 months and it made no difference at all, so we haven't been doing it. But you've...

I'm willing to wear this baby (DD2 for me), which is pretty much the only way she'll nap for more than 20-30 minutes. But my body gets tired from wearing her so many hours a day (she's 3 months now) -- and I know that she'll only get...

I've been wearing DD in a Moby, which I like, but I find the Ergo even more comfortable. She is just 3 months old. I tried her in the Ergo in a front carry for the first time yesterday, full straddle, and she seemed perfectly happy -- I...

I'm currently tandem nursing my 4 year old DD1 and 3 month old DD2. During my pregnancy I reduced DD1's nursing from 3 times to once a day. That went relatively well and smoothly -- I think she was nursing mostly out of habit at that...

Goodness knows, I don't expect my kid (currently age 4) to get invited to the birthday party of every kid we know, or even of every kid she occasionally gets together to play with. But I do find it in poor taste for the parents of other...

Two pregnancies, two homebirths, never had a cervical check. I think this could be a LOT harder to negotiate in a hospital, although maybe they might agree to check and not tell you. (Though that might also be maddening?) With my...

My DD said her first words (Mama, Dada, and her own name) at 22 months. Now, at age 4, she is a total chatterbox and people actually comment on her amazing vocabulary. No one who met her would ever guess she started later than other 4...
