Muffin...don;t feel too bad. It seems like the first kid is the one we do all the learning on...you seem to be figuring things out much better than I did with my first son (Owen)

With Silas there have been so many things that he hasn't had to endure because we already learned the hard way w/Owen.
Silas is so lucky to have a big bro breaking the way for him

We bath DD every evening as part of a going to sleep routine - bath, nursing, cuddling, sleep.
I also took her to a bath with me several times and nursed her there. It is SO nice!!! And she loves it. Especially if I nurse her in a football hold, then she is fully submerged in water while nursing, except for the head of course.

Reyes gets a bath or good sponge bath every 3-4 days. He hates it! I am going to try bathing with him to see if that works better.

So tonight I took Viano into the tub with me and held her head up while she floated around and she loved it. The only reason I did it was because a friend gave us this really luscious organic cotton baby towel and washcloth and I wanted to use it really bad. Now that I know how to make Viano actually enjoy her bath, maybe we'll do it more often. lol.

that makes me feel a LOT better. poor maya! the next baby's gonna have a much easier time. of some things anyway, but then maya will be poking him/her in the eyeballs constantly i'm sure.
