Next time....

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I will have a good sleeper who is not addicted to a 5 minute playing sea horse! 

I literally was armycrawling into her room at 5am this morning (if she saw me she would stand up and not go back to sleep) to put my hand under her bumper and press the sea horse back on. 

Ugghh.. I also will not nurse/rock/hold a baby to sleep and create a habit like I have done with DD.  

I feel like I am one of those parents in the sleep training textbooks who dug themselves this deep hole and don't know how to get out.

What will you do differently next time around?

    I have lots of little things I'll do differently with #2.

    Nothing interesting, BUT I had to comment on the mental image of you army crawling into her room.

    Hilarious!

    I have no idea. The biggest thing having two kids has taught me is that when they say every kid is different, they mean it. Even kids with similar genetic makeup.

    There wont be a next time for us, cause we are one and done, but if we did have another I would start the Sleep Sense program sooner! I waited til 5.5 months and it was HELL being so sleep deprived for both me and DS!

    I will enjoy the newborn stage much more. I hated it this time around.

    I like to rock my baby to sleep, so I'll do that next time too

    I will have a better attitude and enjoy the newborn stage more.  And I'll ask for more help from DH while I'm on leave

    I'll work harder to keep the nursing relationship.  Pumping is too much of a PITA

    We will cloth diaper from Day 1.  That's the only thing I plan on doing differently if/when we are blessed with a 2nd baby.

    This will be our only LO, but I would cherish the newborn stage much more. 

    I wouldnt worry much about sleep because I know its only temporary, and he will only want me to rock him to sleep for a very short amount of time in his life. That I miss, he never wants to cuddle with me anymore.
