(Despite the costume angle, I can still tell she's peeved!) <BR/><BR/>I'm SO with you on the sling thing. I've tried it with Snippet now several times, but he doesn't seem to care for it. He did make a solid hour the other day, but he seems....squished up to me. Plus, I'm Terrified I'm going to whack his head into a door casing or countertop. ERG. Have you had any luck carrying Evie around indoors in the Bjorn? I'm thinking of trying that, just to see....deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208971949811803163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-11073557590287624892008-10-20T15:20:00.000-05:002008-10-20T15:20:00.000-05:00One thing I read in a book that, at the time, I th...One thing I read in a book that, at the time, I thought was cruel but it saved my sanity- if you need to do something quick, shower or whatever, it's okay to leave a baby in the crib or play-yard. Yes, they may cry, but if the wraps, etc. don't work what is the alternative? Never taking showers? Not being able to get anything done? When I first read that, I thought I would never do it, but about a month in, I was putting Eric in his crib to shower. I felt guilty, but I also felt clean!<BR/><BR/>Now that Eric is 9 months it really is impossible to get things done. He's down to 2 naps and is so mobile, he gets into everything. You can't turn your back for a moment. Between 3-6 months with Evie, you'll get more done. She'll lay happily on her back while playing and stay there. Happy times. :-)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288010060936146108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-565980858312424462008-10-20T09:40:00.000-05:002008-10-20T09:40:00.000-05:00Fortunately Lilli doesn't need constant carrying a...Fortunately Lilli doesn't need constant carrying around. She is very happy on her playmat most of the time. She gets fussy after a while, then I usually pick her up. <BR/>We also haven't figured out the feeding on schedule quite yet. Lilli wants to eat an hour after she wakes up in the morning and then about every two hours during the day. But she only drinks about two to three ounces per feeding. At night she goes for longer stretches, but she still doesn't sleep through the night. Please keep us posted how you get her on a schedule.Yokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252039848521013049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-59177840921885928452008-10-20T08:44:00.000-05:002008-10-20T08:44:00.000-05:00Start off slow with the wraps...she has to get use...Start off slow with the wraps...she has to get used to it. I always always vacuumed with my boys in it first because I remained upright and I was constantly swaying back and forth. Once they are okay with that, I moved on to just tiding up, cleaning counters, anything that doesn't involve bending. Now the boys are 6 months old and I can sit, bend, pick up the other one, help my daughter, even lay down with them in the wrap. They don't even peep. Just keep at it and it will get better. :)Safirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885594531853595282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437449174138527513.post-67826470383965482712008-10-20T06:21:00.000-05:002008-10-20T06:21:00.000-05:00Not sure where you live but we walked all winter i...Not sure where you live but we walked all winter in Michigan with our daughter in a bjorn (she was a November baby). I just put her in the bjorn, wrapped a blanket snug around her (with a hat on her head) and then wore a huge jacket that covered both of us. Just a suggestion from someone in a cold state! :-)samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763354401656960083noreply@blogger.com
