I am really struggling... We have a ds who just turned two and an almost 4 week old baby girl. With ds we coslept, nursed on demand, carried him everywhere... He is a wonderful little boy who is very well adjusted, happy and social.
At the same time, he first slept moreorless thru the night, at 23 months of age.
Aislinne, our new dd, is a differnet baby than ds was - she sleeps more, and is just generally, a calmer baby. I feel in turmoil because I am conciously putting her down when she falls asleep (ds always napped in my arms). We have also set up the crib as a cosleeper (ds never slept in it - not even once). Twice I have laid her in it to nap. At night-time she sleeps cuddled into me though.
I don't know. I think I just feel overwhelmed with two - I am trying to get her to nap independently because it gives me more freedom to play with my ds.
I just don't know - am I 'shortchanging' her?
