anything you will do differently?

Question

Are there anything you will do differently With your next baby? For me, I’ll not give up breastfeeding so quick like I did with my first child... giving up made me feel so “weak”.

Answer

Same thing. I’d like to breastfeed longer

Answer

I carry less items in the diaper bag. Less toys, less snacks (I now have 3 kids and pregnant with my 4th). 
I also have less stuff at home to. Less clothes, blankets, toys etc. People just keep buying or giving me so much even now. So I just keep what we like and pass along what we don’t need. There is just to much stuff now a days.

Answer

Im still bf at 9 months but right at the start I refused to use nipple shields. Next time I'll invest in a pair just in case and just shove one on if it's too sore to BF. The toe curling pain was too much. 
I'll be buying a 2 pack of MAM dummies just in case. My LO self soothed in the womb gave himself hand blisters so hand to baby Mitt them up. I had to let him sook on my pinkie knuckle the first night and got my hubby out next morning to grab dummies.
Also not buying too many outfits, buy joggers and tshirts and invest more in onsies and vests. That's all I use. We dont go anywhere special that often to put a outfit on lol. It's so fiddly to put poppers in with outfits...jogging bottoms are easier lol. 
Em... I wasted money on a stupid shnuggle baby bath and stand and a wedged changing mat. It was hard to bathe LO in it with one hand, ended up getting a Fisher price sling bath and i can wash with  both hands. The stand I've never used, still taped in its box lol. The wedged changing mat he hated, he constantly felt like he was slipping down so kept grabbing on for dear life. Great concept but maybe if they didn't use the wedge and kept it flat. Ended up buying a normal flat padded changing mat. No more crying baby.
Think those would be the things I'd do differently.

Answer

Try breast feeding just until the colostrum as gone

Answer

Offer a dummy from day one, we waited recommended 6 weeks (in uk) but by then he didn't want it so I'm his pacifier still as I'm planning to breastfeed until 2 years. 
I can't think of anything else at the moment.
We get some clothes from family and friends sometimes but they don't usually fit even of they are a bigger size as I have a chunky monkey. So we literally just buy vests, sleepsuits and joggers. He's comfortable, not squished in denim or popper tops that are small because he has a large head.
I'm not fashionable and neither will be my baby until he's old enough to earn money for his own clothes 😂😂😂
