All 3 kids. I tried to get my babies in their cribs due to the pressure to do what was "normal" but it never felt right. With my baby right next to me I know his needs are met and that he's safe.

She wakes up to nurse every 2hrs around the clock. Getting up to nurse was to much for me so now I just roll over every two hours and give her a breast. She is now 8 months old and still waking up to nurse every 2 hours. I am so exhausted. Will she ever sleep for more than hours? We want another baby soon and plan on stopping nursing in four months. How in the world are we going to be able to that without turning her world upsidedown? She nurses to sleeep throughout the day and night too. What to do. Please help.

I have heard so many working parents complain about how little time they have with their kids during the week. Some parents arrive home from work at 6pm and have their little ones in bed by 7pm.  We do manage to sneak in more than an hour of time together in the evenings. Usually I end up having close to 3 hours with my kids at home before bedtime. But being together doesn’t end there. I share a bed with one or the other of my kids every night (we play musical beds sometimes). I find this time to be an essential way of staying close even when we can’t spend as much waking time together as we would like.  As I sit here and type, my daughter is sleeping on a boppy pillow on my lap.
