And she has been sleeping with us more and more, but my husband is not exactly pleased with that idea.<br /><br />Yes Rebok, Heidi sits on my lap a lot. She usually starts eating in a chair and then comes over and sits on my lap and eats my food :).

The fact that you are so worried about this shows that you are doing just fine as a mother and I don't think these tiny differences are anything to worry about! :)<br /><br />@}---RosieDentists 90048http://www.alexieaguildds.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-91095170836484031022011-08-12T12:48:04.722-04:002011-08-12T12:48:04.722-04:00You have in definitely not "wronged" Hei...You have in definitely not "wronged" Heidi! Motherhood (parenting, in general) is a constant learning experience, and you have to give yourself credit for always doing 'the best' you know how to do at the time. Both of your children are extremely lucky to have you for their mother.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546577201521923020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-48856206218536177382011-08-12T01:55:21.690-04:002011-08-12T01:55:21.690-04:00Sounds like you're already on the right path w...Sounds like you're already on the right path with her co-sleeping and you wearing her when possible. Maybe also have her in your lap whenever possible, give her hugs throughout the day. Perhaps you already do these things, idk. I'm not in your house (aren't you glad :P )<br />Have you read The Continuum Concept? Or Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves? You might check those out.

I once listened to a Naomi Aldort interview and she suggested you can go back to co-sleeping at any age...she was even suggesting this to a mother of an eight year old! So maybe this would be something you could consider. Our kids both still sleep with us and they are closely spaced by 15 months too!<br Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684698960387428709noreply@blogger.com
