Nursing and siblings
Hi ladies
So what do your older children do while you nurse?
With Ds2 I just gave Ds1 a toy or a treat and Ds2 would drink very quickly but I´m a bit worried how I´m going to handle this now.
When the boys are in the same room they are constantly chasing or nagging eachother, playing ´soccer´, well it´s more like rugby, so they are very loud and one always ends up crying...
how am I going to sit down for 30 minutes and nurse in peace?
Curious to hear how you all handle this.

Its a bit hard when baby is really new, but when things fall into more of a routine you could have different activities for each feed. Morning tea (sultanas take a while to eat), afternoon tea, quiet room time, drawing, playdough, special dvd. Have special toys they only get for feed time.

I watch helplessly while the boys wrestle on the floor. Sorry, I know that doesn't help but it does work out that way a lot! DD is quite happy to be taken off mid feed while I sort her brothers out though - she is very relaxed and adaptabke which is obviously a good thing! Don't worry, you'l be fine!

Sorry, I had to giggle.
Life with boys is anything but dull
If you work out how to do ANYTHING in peace, let me know your secret. Lol.

I don't recall it ever being an issue, it just tended to work out. When DS 3 was a newborn, I went to the other room for the first few days, while I still had help, then later I didn't need to do that anymore.
2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
