Laurena,
Thanks for your post reminding us of the challenges of walking our talk!
("I've been nursing the baby all night...") I found that tandem nursing
was a lot harder in fact than it was in theory - and although I tandem
nursed through two pregnancies, I was horrified when I literally could
not nurse my 3 yr old at the other breast while my newborn nursed (I
wanted to cut and run) and disappointed in myself again when I couldn't
nurse the 5-1/2 year old and 2-1/2 year old when pregnant with my third.
(So I weaned the 5-1/2 year old who probably should have continued and
nursed the 2/1/2 year old who was a happy thumbsucker -- OALR!!)
Now when I explore these issues with moms I can say, "Here's ideas about
what different people do. Here are the advantages and the challenges.
You can make a wise choice based on YOUR life, and you CAN walk your
talk, even though it may be one of the biggest challenges you've ever
had." And the help of good friends helps!
