So much parenting advice...

[Ginger]

hey blue hebe, i know you don't want any parenting advice (and this may actually be considered parenting advice) lol, but when i was feeling really down about these sorts of things (especially sleeping) i would pull out one of my pinky mackay books. i think they are great for reassurance and make you feel heaps better about the situation. also talking about it on bb helped me heaps too

Amaunet has just given you the best parenting advice ever.

Thanks guys. Sometimes it helps to just write out what I'm feeling...clears my head.

I know we're doing ok. I have a wonderful, happy wee boy. Most of the time I feel fine with our parenting decisions, but sometimes, at the 3am feed I wonder if I have it all wrong.

3am is a dastardly time at the best of times hun

I think we all doubt ourselves sometimes, but as long as it's working for you and your family, that's all that matters. And if for some reason it's not working anymore, trust your instincts and move on to something that does work

chick. I question lots of things when I'm up for the 6th time at 3am. That comes from another mama of (chronic ugh) non-sleepers.

I also stopped buying those useless magazines a long while ago. Just made me feel useless half the time, and inadequate the rest.

You are doing OK, you're right, but sometimes doing OK needs an external boost of, 'no you're doing the right thing! I do it that way too '
