What would you like to start over on? Meaning if you could go back to day one with LO is there something you wish you'd done differently? I wish I never started nursing to sleep. I should have tried harder to Eat Play Sleep. I can't seem to break the habit now and it really upsets me that I can't put her down for a nap. She is sleep trained for nights and goes down awake but naps are a cruel joke in this house.
And as much as I say I will do that next time I really don't know if I will be able to accomplish it. I had a really rough recovery and nursing to sleep was all i could manage in the beginning.
Married October 2009. Me 29 H 28. After 1 year of infertility, our little miracle was conceived via our 3rd IUI on May 5, 2013. Holland Sophia was born Jan 24, 2014.
Going back to DS (he's 3 now)...I wish I was more patient and didn't wear my emotions on my sleeve bc he picks up on it and has started to exhibit the same behavior. Not into it and I feel like it's my fault.
There really isn't too much that I would change about what I'm doing with him. We've really been blessed with a great baby. My change with have to do with labor and his birth. I wish I'd stood up for myself and just gone on bed rest instead of allowing them to induce me. My body wasn't ready for labor, I ended up with a cs, and then with a lot of medical complications for the month after. I feel like I missed his whole first month of life.
Patience, I feel like there's times when I've lost it because I couldn't see the light that was right around the corner anyways. I wish we had worked on him sleeping on his own better, although I don't know how. I wish h and I had planned better so that I could be at home. I feel like some of his eating/sleeping issues I could better work on at home.
Another vote for nursing to sleep. Ugh. No naps to speak of happening in my house. I feel like I'd have more patience and be happier overall if could get him down for even an hour per day where I could just have time to myself to get things done or read a book
Another for nursing to sleep! OR laying down asleep. I am starting to put her down awake and pat her back and walk away. (its a hit or miss if it works) Sleep has gotten a little better most of the time. She is napping now.
BFP #1 (7/13/12) MC (8/14) 9 weeks. D & C 8/17. BFP #2 (5/18/13) due 1/26/14. Grow baby grow! Its a surprise! Team green!
Another vote for breastfeeding. I was so overwhelmed with being a FTM. So hormonal. I wish I would have tried harder. We only lasted about 4-6 weeks. I still feel bad about it too. I'm going to try a lot harder this time around.
With DS: Realizing he needed physical therapy as an infant, I was a FTM and missed the signs until he was older. Also not being able to breastfeed him long (only 2 weeks), but now that I am a second time mom I realize I did the best I could at the time.
With DD: I honestly don't think there is anything I would do differently. I was able to breastfeed her longer, 5 months, but I do wish we could have kept going for longer. Nothing I would really do different though.
I wish I had pushed dh more to help w dd's cf needs. Especially her therapy, if he would split the load I would feel so much less pressure. Now we are in a rut of me doing all of it unless I can't and him having excuses when I ask otherwise.
