You've got this thing down!<br /><br />We never co-slept with Caleb at night, but many a nap time were spent together. I loved having that precious cuddle time, especially now that he prefers the crib over me! We had to put him on a strict feeding schedule when he was born because he lost too much weight very quickly, but we are definitely more flexible now (although I am an advocate for consistency--you know that!). I just love this and I can't wait to keep reading about your little man. You're doing so great, Silvy!!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380315852168531986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685060625892460465.post-56078537328884306872009-05-25T23:32:02.270-05:002009-05-25T23:32:02.270-05:00the new page does look great!

I have always shot for having a schedule with Aidan (although a flexible one) because it fit our lifestyle and his needs. I think that every baby is different and some really do need things to be generally consistent. My sister in law did things totally different with her little guy and had a much more relaxed eat and sleep whenever style. My nephew was an extremely easy laid back baby. She has had problems with it now that he is older, but she could never be on a schedule because it is not her thing. I love my sleep and love Aidan having an early bedtime because (especially now that he is all over the place) I look forward to the evening hours that Seth and I can spend together. Aidan goes to bed at 8 and sleeps until 7:30ish most of the time. He slept till 9:00 this morning which was unusual, but he is sick, so I let him sleep away. I think it is good, as a parent, to understand that everyone has different parenting styles based on their personalities, the baby's temperament, and their personal lifestyle. I definitely like hearing about what you guys do, although it is different than what I did with Aidan at that age. Keep enjoying this sweet baby stage. They grow up so fast!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854415507682597051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685060625892460465.post-44977672440295773072009-05-22T23:00:33.225-05:002009-05-22T23:00:33.225-05:00Owen loved the miracle blanket ...

Now every morning around 6-7 jonas gets to hang out with us in bed until it's time where we are all ready to get up...and it's my favorite part of the day!wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293736219285609012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685060625892460465.post-5927420725620303372009-05-22T22:39:19.981-05:002009-05-22T22:39:19.981-05:00Hi!

It has been fun reading your blog because I just had an April baby, too (April 29)! I just wanted comment to say that I love this post. I had started to think that I was the only one who is really laid back about feeding/sleeping. I let my other 2 nurse/sleep whenever & it really worked for us. They both had more firm bedtimes as they got closer to 1, but it isn't exactly set in stone. Just a time we shoot for. Anyway, they are GREAT sleepers (although that just could be a fluke). But I am doing the same thing with our new baby & he is a pretty good sleeper, too. Nice to hear your perspective.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538318074317610641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685060625892460465.post-77055946330492300452009-05-22T21:45:15.114-05:002009-05-22T21:45:15.114-05:00he's such a cutie! oh, and the family pic is ador...he's such a cutie! oh, and the family pic is adorable!dawnvonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784763085008219375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685060625892460465.post-23070124466941452892009-05-22T20:54:40.672-05:002009-05-22T20:54:40.672-05:00I loved Co-sleeping.

Too many people think you need to put a baby on a schedule and for what? do they have a meeting to get to? Important clients to meet? When we had Carl he didn't go to bed till we did which was around 10 to 10:30ish. Some people believe in putting their babies to bed around 6 or 7pm which I think is crazy, even know that Carl is going to school his bedtime is at 8:30pm usually asleep at 9pm since he does have school now. Also sometimes babies can become so used to things a certain way that when you try to switch things up for whatever reason they are not able to because they are set in their ways, the way the parent has shown them. Keep up the good work!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065246673695819390noreply@blogger.com
