How IG helped me with baby number 3
It's no secret that taking care of babies is hard. I didn't know that until i had Ayra and boy, that first year was a wakeup call. Whoo! I followed everyone's advice, old wive's tales to be honest and it got me nowhere. Being my first baby, I had alot of problems with Ayra. She rejected the bottle, did not want a pacifier and essentially, at one point, she didn't sleep unless she was attached to me. That made for a few very hectic months and led me to implement the Cry It Out method, which by the way, everyone in my house hated me for. But i had no choice, i simply could not carry on like that. Eventually she settled down and i also embraced exclusively feeding her. Baby two, Alina was a self soother from the start. She used to suck on her hand or her inner cheek to go to sleep and so she made for an unusually easy baby. As hard as Ayra's first year had been, Alina's was the complete opposite. Within a few months, she came to rely on her "Element"...
