From birth to about 4 weeks PP, not counting BF'ing, I did it 2-3 times a day for around 30 minutes. DH did it once or twice a day.
After 4 weeks we only did it when LO seemed to need some extra comforting during colicky times. I would say we did it an average of three times a week from 4 weeks through 10 weeks or so. Then he just started not needing it anymore.
We still do it daily, baby loves it and so do i! He is 9 1/2 months old, its a great way to bond and relax baby, hubby did a LOT in the beginning but not as much now, just do it as much or little as you want! :
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses.... All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
