My first child was only 12 months when Gabi was born. I read to her while breastfeeding, sing to her, make silly faces . . . If she`s walking by I`ll catch her with my legs and kind of push her back and forth like playing with her. That helped a lot because it made breastfeeding almost a fun game for her. Now when she sees me feeding she`ll come in and sneak by looking at me out of the corner of her eye and of course I catch her and she thinks it`s sooo much fun.

I had the same thing, though mine was older. I would take the time to read her books while I was BFing my newborn. Worked for me

We used to do the alphabet together or count while I am tending to the baby but was still giving my other(s) attention. I would also gave them dolls so they can act like they were caring for a baby too. This worked for me.

We always had quiet time when i was bf. I got the book goodnight moon so that we could read it together while i bf and he could search for the mouse on all the pages. It kept him busy and close but let me bf in a calm situation. I always set up on the couch with the boppy and a pile of books. :-) If my exhusband was home (husband at the time) i would have him entertain my older son while i snuck away upstiars to the baby`s room to bf there. After a few weeks he got use to it and he wouldn`t even notice when i bf. I just always made sure i had alone time after every bf session. :-) Goodl uck and congrats.

  2. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  4. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  6. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  7. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
