Breastfeeding ha...Yes, we battle with the sleeping! Breastfeeding has been a major help, but sometimes it is not enough. I am one of those Moms that do not want them to cry. Natural or attachment parenting - makes a lot of sense to me!<br /><br />I know! Then I shouldn't complain! I'm not! Just stating how it is at the moment! As Margot/I have said "This too will pass!" :-)Karen du Toithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962536496240863886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-91364894098239271502010-07-20T12:59:13.735+02:002010-07-20T12:59:13.735+02:00Ai yes, the tantrums.

I'm very glad to say that so far, the most "challenging" behaviours seem to end by themselves just before you think you may need therapy to recover from the Shriek or the Whine or the Tantrum or whatever it is. I even found that Barney was a thing that was requested 5 million times a day aand now Felix seems to have forgotten all about him (I am SO grateful). Now when I am getting sick and tired of something I hear you say "This too shall pass" - and I know it will! ;)Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332747703049187975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-22703422430246256142010-07-20T02:35:21.389+02:002010-07-20T02:35:21.389+02:00The temper tantrums!

My kids are no angels and still fight, bicker and on occasion scream when they do not get their way, but they now know they will be sent to time out and expected to apologize for their behavior!! What drives me batty at this stage is the whining!! Oh if that can just stop I will be so much happier! Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
