Gentle
Today, I saw THIS on a Facebook page that I am subscribed to.
I like what this list has to say. I like the tone of the list. Gentle Parenting is something that I have been reading more and more about lately. I think there is something to be said for being a gentle parent.
In other news, I feel like my son is just not that into solids. He is still breastfeeding as normal and I offer oatmeal cereal or a puree once a day but even at that he does not eat very much. I am sure before I know it he will be eating much more. And, when he is ready, he will eat. Right now, breastmilk is his primary nutritional source.
The baby is now 7 months old and my husband and I still have not had anyone babysit. I am not ready. I do not want to leave him. Not to mention I am exclusively breastfeeding. I truly think that our experience having to leave him at the NICU for almost 3 weeks gave me PTSD and I have NO desire to leave him. When he was in the NICU we HAD to leave him. there was no choice. We were not able to stay with him at the hospital. SO having HAD to leave him, now I don't want to. Plus, I hate to think about if we did leave him for an hour, what if he was sad and crying and we weren't there to console him. I don't know....I just know in my heart of hearts that I am not ready to leave him yet. and I am OK with that.
