umm... this is gonna sound harsh but you can't do a damn thing about number 2 at least not much. You can try wrapping her different or whatever. Babies have their sleep schedule changing all the time. I don't know what to tell ya about number one though... is the sun in her eyes???? that's what my kids hated so the sunshade things are awesome.
As for breastfeeding most women need to realize some women just can't because of their schedules or they don't produce enough milk or just arne't comfortable with it! If a woman's not comfortable with it, the baby will have a harder time latching on and being comfortable themselves. But yeah, I'm in michigan!!! 847-3456
Awww! I am so excited!!! I want to meet up with you, how long are you going to be here? I won't be around this weekend, because I am leaving town for memorial day, we have some dinner thing at my grandmas down south, and we are going because I NEVER get to see my family! Get a hold of me! 231-206-1719
That sucks. :( I've had that problem alot recently. I hate letting her cry it out, so usually I try to make sure she's full and dry before venturing out. Hopefully, with my fingers crossed, she falls asleep while I'm driving.
Yeah, that's what I hope and pray for too, is that she will fall asleep...I try to get her to sleep right before we leave, and I wait til the absoulute last minute before I put her in her carseat!

Ok, first off, I just want to let you know, I'm not taking any of this as though you are better than me...and that I'm not taking any of this offensively...I just have a really busy life, and I chose not to breastfeed with my daughter, do I regret it? Yes, whole heartedly! I really do wish that I would have at least tried it, knowing that the breast is best, but, everyone learns from their mistakes...We are planning on having another baby in about 2 years or so, and I really want to try breastfeeding our second one...I think it was more that I was scared than anything, but with the way my husbands job is, he is on-call 24/7 and so I have our daughter 24/7 and work 40+ hours a weeks, cook, clean, take care of both our dogs, grocery shop, everything, I have ABSOULUTLY NO HELP! I just can't do all of it anymore, because I am getting so worn out that I find it hard to stay awake and hard to get up with Kialee at night! There is no napping during the day on my days off, because that's when I get all of my errands done

I absolutely understand not having help. Sometimes I feel like a single parent, which makes me incredibly angry because I didn't sign on to be one. I have a husband, yet I feel like I'm raising my son alone. Neither of us has any time for anything.
I think it's wonderful that you want to breastfeed your next child. It will take a lot of determination because those first few weeks tend to be really challenging. For me, co-sleeping helped the breastfeeding relationship a lot. I didn't have to fully wake up to feed my son after awhile. I felt well-rested for months. Now, however, I feel like I'm going to just pass out at any moment. He'll get over it, I know he will... ugh. Anyway, I know this is a bit extreme, but it isn't too late to breastfeed this baby. There are a lot of women like yourself who chose to formula feed in the beginning, then changed their minds. It is possible to relactate. It might be the hardest thing you ever do, but it is possible. If you're at all interested, I can get you in contact with some women who have

I really appriciate the offer, but I think I am going to pass. Like I said before, I would like to, but I just have soooo much going on right now. I have to be able to feel 100% comfortable to breastfeed, and I don't think I would have that feeling right now! Thank you so much though!
May I add you as a friend? I really enjoy talking with you, and recieveing your comments on here! You have very interesting comments that are educational to me, and I would really like to keep this going, so that I can learn a lot more about bf before we decide to have another child! Thank you so much again!
I wouldn't worry about the breat feeding thing. I think people get too worked up on this topic. I am sure it is healthier but it is not going to do any harm by feeding the babies from the bottle. A lot of people get on these tangents about doing everything perfectly but the truth is that it really doesn't matter all that much. A lot of people do not breast feed and I have never seen any problems with the kids as they grow up. I do not think it is selfish at all to not breastfeed.

When she starts freaking out, somebody sitting with her helps.
