ty sheryl. i put it on a day early lol but i know i will b breastfeeding tomorrow lol. and i actually find it pretty easy with two. during the day im home alone with the two. what i try n do is when angel starts fussing in the morning i put ella in her highchair and give her breakfast. feed angel on one side. than i get up get ella a sippy cup. than i feed angel on other side. when done i put her in swing n get ella out of high chair. n later on i either put her in the pack n play with tv or let her run around in a room were she cant get anything shes not supposed to. in the evening i have alot of help. u will figure it out n make a routine

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Thanks bby, that is very helpful! I'll be home alone during the day and it is nice to know you've gotten in to a good routine.

i feel like a wuss worrying about what a 20 month old and a newborn will be like! i can't imagine having a newborn and a barely 1 year old. you guys are awesome for being able to do it!!!

 

[DrGomps]

thats great that your breastfeeding and its going so well Amanda, gives me hope! the blinkies annoy me that you have to replace them each month so I just added a ticker.

 

[bbygurl719]

Are you still going to b breastfeeding Josie. I know so people do extended breastfeeding. I'm so happy its going so well this time. I've officially been breastfeeding longer than I did with Ella. It would have been longer with her if she didn't have the tongue tie. I feel so accomplished this time. I know it sucks u have to change it each month but it motivated me to keep going n it makes me feel good. I also have a ticker to. I'm just one proud breastfeeding momma this time lol

For the first 12 months I just had to change a digit in the code, not go back and recopy it. It wasn't bad. They stop after 12 months for the one I was using though so changed to a new one.

Found something cool today. I was looking for a toddler table and chairs for Kristin and came across a set at Ikea for $20. I googled for reviews and found all this info about people "hacking" the plain set to make it more personalized. It's very neat!!

 

[DrGomps]

Yeah Amanda...I plan on tandem feeding. I love bfing...

Sheryl...thats SO cool!!

 

[bbygurl719]

I love breastfeeding too n I give u props for wanting to tandem feed.

 

[sherylb]

LOL. I love it about 1/2 the time. The other 1/2 she's waking up and disturbing my sleep and then my DH is coming in from work at 4:30am or getting up at 2:30am to go to work. Yuck!

 

[bbygurl719]

When is ur due date Andrea

 

[DrGomps]

Oct 1st...subject to change by ultrasound of course.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

I loved breastfeeding too, and can't wait to do it again. Connor refused to drink bm after I got pregnant again (I started to have some supply issues when my cycle returned) and I was really sad about it - though still proud I made it to 8 months.

 

[bbygurl719]

I figured it could change do u know when u will get n ultrasound

Hi! :wave:

It's notjustyet, I set up a new account because I couldn't remember my password and the name didn't make sense any more!

I'm going to be TTC #2 in Summer so thought I'd join up again! B&B was so much help last time I was pg. Can't believe how many of you are expecting / have already had another!! Its so exciting

AFM, Annies doing well she runs around like a loon most of the day, dances at every noise she hears, sings a bit, says a lot, has started two word sentences like 'Hello Daddy' or 'See ya' and is absolutely the best thing thats ever happened to me!

Have been wondering about potty training lately, she seems to have a problem with getting her bum changed - she prefers to stand up. So was wondering if any of you have started or are thinking of potty training?

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Hey Alison! My Dh thinks Connor ready for potty training because he'll point to the toilet and say 'pee' and tell us if he needs a diaper - he says 'dipe'. I think hes just wishful thinking, ha ha. But I am going to get a book on potty training and buy a potty just so he gets used to it.

 

[tlh97990]

welcome back!! i've thought about my daughter pooped on the potty when she was 11 months old and since then shes had no interest! My hubby is home with her all day while i'm at work so he hasn't wanted to work on it either which makes it impossible right now. i'd love her to be potty trained before july when this next baby comes but i have a feeling im going to have to take time away from work since he doesnt want to potty train her

 

[Anniebobs]

I've got a potty and I've left it lurking around just in case she fancies potty training herself! I remember how frustrating it was with the dog haha! I might try leaving it to OH and see how that goes down.

Robin, Connor does sound like he's a lot nearer to potty training than Annie is. She just hates her nappy, she knows nothing of the toilet other than not to touch!!

TLH congratulations! I'm sure having 2 in nappies would be less stressful than a newly trained toddler and a newborn, so even if you don't potty train her it will be fine. If you do then bonus!

 

[sherylb]

We are so far from potty training. Kristin does not care if she's in poop all day or if her diaper is down to her knees. I do have the rail to convert her bed to a toddler bed, a potty and a toddler backpack on her Amazon list though among other things.

 

[bbygurl719]

We got Ella a potty chair for her bday but haven't tried it yet
