I’m glad things are getting easier! I don’t like sticking with a schedule so I had a “go with the flow” mentality that worked alright for us. I read your previous post and breastfeeding is REALLY HARD in the beginning! I think it does get easier once you and Allie both get the hang of things and each other!

I think I had 1 carrier before I had my daughter and I ended up with 3 afterwards. I did a whole shopping trip once with little Patsy in the Baby Bjorn! I have an Ergo Baby carrier and I really love it because you can nurse while wearing it. It gives a whole new level of multi tasking!

I love that so many of us bloggers have been pregnant & now have newborns together.

I’d like to hear what you think of Baby Wise.

You look so fabulous!! I’m glad to hear that things are getting easier, those first few weeks can be real hell if we are all being honest lol. Being a Mom is great, but it’s really such a huge lifestyle change that is very hard to get used to at first! For me personally, I would say things started getting drastically easier around 4-6 weeks, and then even easier at 3 months, and easier again at 6 months, and then a piece of cake after I stopped breastfeeding just after a year (mostly because she started sleeping through the night after ending BFing…this isn’t very typical that babies sleep as poorly as Little Miss did lol!). I think the biggest thing is that your hormones start to even out after around 4-6 weeks and that’s what made a huge difference to me!

Can’t wait to see you girl on Sunday!!!! 🙂

At the recommendation of many, I just ordered the K’Tan so I can start wearing Axel around the house when I am trying to get things done. It seems to work really well for many. Plus, it kills two birds with one stone by getting that skin to skin time. I am also reading Baby Wise.

It sounds like things are getting a little easier. I feel like the past week has been a complete blur and the days just kind of run together. I don’t even know if I know what day it is. Haha!

It’s been fun reading about your experience because I am right behind you. Connecting with others going through similar experiences has been really helpful for me.

Yay for baby wearing! I scheduled with my first (via CHERISH the First Six Weeks by Helen Moon instead of Baby Wise but a similar concept) and it was a life-saver for me. Hopefully it works as well baby #2 (due in December)!

The mixed reviews frustrate me, but I love the idea of a schedule so that’s why I’m trying to follow it.

I really liked the Baby Wise book and then I read the reviews, man oh man! But it seems like every baby-related thing is that way… people either love or hate it!
