Quoting TT & Baby Andrew: I have a question for those of you that are breast feeding. When did you or when do you plan on introducing ... [snip!] ... think that is too soon? I just don't want there to be nipple confusion or for him to get lazy and not want the boob any more.
I plan to start after 4 weeks to allow the "normal" habit-forming period to pass before introducing a new option. You might look for a bottle with a nipple that requires work to get the milk and doesn't just drip out. Might help.

Quoting Ashley, mommy of 2: I'm way excited about the siggy too. I gotta get to looking thru my pictures to find ones I wanna use. Betsy, when do you need pictures by?
no immediate rush its gonna take a few days to get everyones pics into it I'm sure as Kat has two LO's at home and in no rush I want all the mommies in it that want to be so I'd say we're looking at about maybe a week to give everyone time to see the post.. ALSO if everyone can make an announcement with the info.. you can just copy & paste it & link them to me would be great as I know that I dont have even half march mommies in my PT..

But they don't always nap at the same time LOL
Can I just say how proud of my Stella I am? The first couple weeks were rather rough, but she's really doing well with Lilah these days. Right now she's sitting on the couch holding her and has been so gentle. the crying and clingyness has gotten so better and she's just doing a great job.
She's singing to sis now, "rock a bye Lilah in the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock. when the bough breaks the cradle will rock, and Stella will catch Lilah, cradle and all' LOL

Happy late Easter everyone!
Uggh, now it is Spring Vacation, good news is I don't have many kids, only 2 on top of my 2 kids, but Paige is self suffcient, so is one of the other kids, and I have a 2 yr old running around, and Aubrey mostly sleeps. Definitely beats my normal load. Bad news though since I do have so little I am spring cleaning BOOO. the 2 yr old is helping me LOL It is kind of cute.

I have Stella and Lilah everyday and barely find time to vacuum LOL I keep telling my husband I'm sorry I'm such a crappy housewife, but he says he doesn't care, he's just as capable of cleaning n cooking when he gets home as I am I still feel bad, but I just haven't gotten the hang of having two yet!

hmm maybe I'll wait until the week after then. I've been hearing a lot of 3 weeks and a lot of 4 weeks, I think maybe I should wait until 4 just to be safe. I just want him to becomfortable withtaking the bottle in early May sometime so I can go back to work.
That reminds me, good news. My former place of employment went bankrupt and closed and with the economy being crappy and my obvious pregnancy I couldn't find a a job. Well, they finally got sold and are opening back up so I will be able to go back to work there until I find something better.

I know we can survive without me working, but things will be tight. And I hate to leave a job, because if I do need to work it'll be much harder to find a job right now. Damn economy, total screws things up LOL
Have you been pumping to get a supply of milk going? I have been just in case, but I've noticed that when I pump I'm way more sore than when I nurse. Kinda sucks.

Stella wanted a sister too, but I think with all the changes it was just a bit much on her. Plus my hormones were outta whack for a while after I delivered, so my patience wasn't what it normally is. I felt so bad getting on Stella for things, yet I was being rather strict. Now that we have a good routine going and are all sleeping a bit better things are going smoothly.
I hate to think about going back to work and messing up her routine again. I really hope we are able to work things out so I can just stay home. No one will raise my girls as well as I will. No matter where I send them. Nobody's as good as Mom

Well, they finally got sold and are opening back up so I will be able to go back to work there until I find something better.I have been giving Kayleigh a bottle of formula to supplement her since my supply is weak for some reason I've tried 7 different Booby type bottles LOL and she takes just a regular old bottle better then any of them. Go figure .. but she's been on bottle (usually just 2 times a day after I nurse her) since her 3rd week checkup since we noticed she really wasnt gaining the way she should be.
I'm having no trouble with nipple confusion at all.. since I only offer it to her after I nurse when she still seems hungry and she honestly doesnt want it she prefers the booby still but you know sometimes she sucks me dry & is still hungry. I think its mostly due to her constant urge to nurse... its her comfort object since she wont take a paci
