lessons learned : vol 2
one
when almost every poopy diaper becomes a blow-out, that's your cue to move up a size.
two
don't skip baby's naps... and the older they get, they don't easily sleep in their car seat on the go! (the beauty of newborns...)
three
sleep training is your worst enemy but your best friend. in the end, it's SO worth it and everyone in the family gets their sleep and is happy.
four
remember to switch sides when you hold your baby. my left side of my back is incredibly tight verses my right side!
five
don't swaddle our future babies... it was quite the task weaning colsen from being swaddled
six
nursing pads are a must once your baby sleeps through the night. you don't want to wake up in a puddle of your milk the next morning!

talk to me about sleep training, please! we are getting ready to start. what method did y'all use? and seriously, why won't they nap on the go anymore!!?! And I totally agree about the swaddling- that was a task!
ReplyDeletei'll gladly help!! so here's the link to a PDF of Sleep Sense, a sleep training program (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxfF1L93xAIzX1ZaY21iV2tncExQOUYwTFdYRG02NFdxX0VF/view?usp=sharing). it's tough the first couple days but now my son has been sleeping 11-12hrs straight through the night the past few days! we started last sunday. i hope it helps!! good luck ;)
