You know what's best for...You're the mama! You know what's best for you and baby. You know what you're comfortable with. And if you're not ready, you're not ready. We co-slept the first year and didn't put him in his own bed/room until one year. We weren't ready and neither was he until that point. He was on the bottle until 18 months old. He wasn't ready to give it up and neither were we - until that point. And when "that point" is reached, it's a pretty transition for both baby and parents...and you feel okay with it. All of the advise from books and people don't matter.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707226638096343977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770174239418463922.post-20659491991778546442009-07-07T15:11:54.591-04:002009-07-07T15:11:54.591-04:00It's been five months??!?!!
My daughter never...It's been five months??!?!!<br /><br />My daughter never ever took a bottle, and I have a small warehouse full of different bottles and nipples because everyone I talked to suggested a different brand. Spencer will start eating some "solids" soon, so you will be less tied to him in that way.<br /><br />As for not being ready, I totally feel you! I left our 'baby' with grandma for the first time less than two months ago, when she was 21 months old! And it was only for 2 hours. I know that exact feeling you are talking about... I would almost cry at the thought of leaving her with ANYONE except Daddy. And I still felt nauseous when I left her at 21 months! Its okay. Either that or we are both crazy ;o)ATenoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933860105490512976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770174239418463922.post-59016252215760556272009-07-07T13:07:50.796-04:002009-07-07T13:07:50.796-04:00Also - to add to the world's longest comment -...Also - to add to the world's longest comment - I also can't believe I'm a Mama! Last night I said to Hubs 'Can you believe that HE is OURS? They let us walk out of the hospital with him? We MADE someone this handsome and perfect???"<br /><br />I can't believe it either. I hope this never goes away.Me Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217022145109147260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770174239418463922.post-33412246966055944172009-07-07T13:05:32.745-04:002009-07-07T13:05:32.745-04:00It's ok to not be ready. Screw the books and a...It's ok to not be ready. Screw the books and all the advice from well-meaning friends (including me!!) :). Do things on your own time and then you'll be happy with how they turn out.<br /><br />I, on the other hand, want to take my life back. I've left Bjorn with my mom so Hubs and I could have a nice dinner for my birhday (he was less than 2 weeks old!!!) and I've left him for a while with the Hubs while I went shopping and got a much-needed pedicure. We didn't know how the bottle thing would go either, but we were lucky and when baby's hungry, baby eats! I would leave him with the Hubs, any of my friends, and with any of the aunts, uncles and grandparents. It's all about what makes you comfortable - and uncomfortable. Do what feels right.<br /><br />One of these days you'll be ok leaving Spence with someone, and when you do you 'll be relieved that you waited to do it on your time.<br /><br />BTW - when I saw your blog title, I thought "OMG, she's pregnant again!!!"Me Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217022145109147260noreply@blogger.com
