Baby stuff...do I really need it all???

My kids went to their own beds in their own rooms within a few nights. If they cried, they got attention right away,,but if they wiggled around and grunted and settled back down, not a problem. Mishi8..you are right that infants need to ahve their needs met to develop a sense of security. I couldn't sleep with them in the same room becasue they were noisey. When they were bogger, sometimes they would wake up at night and crawl in bead with us..no big deal, but it's rather crowded and we all slept more comfortably if everyone was in their own space. Our oldest kept wandering into ouir bed itn eh middle of the night...we finally got to where we'd take her back to her bed and lay down with her for a while to keep her company and get her away from sleeping in our bed.
Toddlers can get into this manipulitive behavior, and you ahve to set limits. IMO...kids belong in their own bed. How can you swing from the ceiling in the body harness wearing black leather with them in your bed??? Doesn't it wake then up??

LOL! We keep our body harness in the den. JK! The kids come to our room less as they get older. Just like breastfeeding, I see it as one more thing of babyhood/toddlerhood that will end soon enough...a small amount of time and effort on my part compared to the years of parenting I have ahead of me...and eventually my kids will want to have nothing to do with me anyway! :(

For those families who considering the bedroom simply as a place for all to sleep, obviously they have other spaces for having private fun. ;)
 
although I'm certainly enjoying where this topic has gone, have we forgotton that Holly started this thread to find out what physical stuff she needs for her baby? I think we've gotten off topic...
 
Thanks guys :rolleyes: !!! Well, I guess my harness set will have no competition b/c the young one will be sleeping in his crib from day one (for all kinds of reasons)!!!! LOL Besides, its the chains that are loud, swinging is quite quiet ;)

it happens in gcc, and cannot be stopped :rolleyes:
 
so I've noticed. And I have been guilty myself... :o
 
Kas, don't tell me that your parents have yet to pull the "You live in MY house, that means you follow MY rules" line on you yet??!? You're 13!! They're WAY overdue!! Heck, I'm looking forward to it so much, I'm already practicing it!!! ;)

Nursie, you might just be my new super hero.... Black leather and a harness.... LMAO!!! :bowing:

And Larissa, I think Holly's been so overloaded with the things she needs and doesn't need, she probably regrets starting the thread in the first place! :pc: HA!

Oh, I just thought of one other thing!! If you're going to nurse Holly, don't forget the Lanisoh (I think that's how it's spelled) It's pure lanolin for you to rub on after the baby nurses... Oh dear God, that stuff saved my life!!

Aren't all the MEN glad they're reading about this stuff??

:hi:

That's a really good one to remember! Lansinoh is one brand, I believe Purelan (not sure if that's the exact name) is another. Absolute lifesaver! It's also good on chapped skin, especially when kids have a cold and get a sore nose from wiping with tissue...a little bit of lansinoh makes it heal quickly and feel instantly better. :)
 
Yea, and you don't need much of it... and it's really kinda expensive, but you'll NEED IT. You might get a little tube of PureLan in your goodie bag at the hospital. I did. And that one little tube lasted me the entire time that I needed it. But if not, you can always send the hubby out for a tube of it!! LOL!

"Honey, just go to WalMart, head to the baby section and ask a nice lady to show you the breastfeeding creams! They'll help you!"

:thud:
 
we got a tub of lanolin from the hospital and we used it for everything. I even used it for chapped lips. Of course my husband told me that I was sick b/c the stuff comes from sheep's wool and we're putting everywhere.
