Second (third etc) time moms: what would you do different this time around with your baby?

Question

I would love to do Baby-led weaning with this baby when the time comes for solid food.

Answer

Last time I tracked every feed and diaper change and obsessed over wake windows and guess what? He didn't sleep for the first two years of his life anyway 😆 this time I'm throwing that all out the window and just enjoying my baby on his cues.

Answer

I want to make sure baby sleeps in her crib , I can’t get my one year old out of my bed and off my boob! She uses me as a pacifier . So I want this next one to be able to sleep in the crib and learn how to self sooth since my daughter can’t and it’s a struggle . My
Daughter is very clingy and we are trying to work on her being more independent . We did baby led weening . I liked it! Everyone  else always gets scared when they see her eat but she’s great with chewing .

Answer

Def not stress as much this time around. I focused a lot of energy on making sure breastfeeding worked for us. Which we did make it to 18 month. But I’m not going to let it stress me out if It doesn’t work with my mental health.

Answer

Make sure we let him learn how to soothe himself to sleep instead of catering to every cry like we did with my daughter. No need to write down every changing and feeding this time around either, that was a little over kill. Lol we will continue having a good routine with naps and bedtime, it’s served us well with our first and she’s 2.

Answer

I had my second already, but I did a lot differently.
I went for it and bought the dockatot like I wanted the first go around (now I’d probably consider the snuggleme- but I’m vested with the dockatot) and used that in the bed for the first few months and then switched her to her own bed with it after that—so I basically established boundaries that time. My first I co-slept with her in my arms 😬. 
I’d say that was the biggest thing..and I plan to do the same with this babe.

Answer

Breast-feed as long as I can. My first I could not breast-feed. My second eyebrows fed seven months. My third eyebreast fet nine months. I want to make it over a year at this time.

Answer

I’ll probably stick to the same sleep routine we used since we’ve always had a good sleeper. When it’s time for solids I’ll follow Solid Starts from day 1 and skip the expensive purées.
