Hang in there, I can definitely empathize/sympathize and am thankful to read Reid's crazy moments of insane crying (which are waning as the weeks go by) for the sake of crying aren't uncommon. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for making me feel less like a lunatic - I was really starting to wonder!!Andrea and Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481790526761417504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077497.post-38123474966259931092008-10-09T10:51:00.000-04:002008-10-09T10:51:00.000-04:00I can't believe you said that!

Maybe, right before naptime, you could promise Becca some kind of special activity or treat after nap (preferably something that keeps her occupied for a bit while you nurse.) That way she wakes up excited to collect her promised treat/activity instead of with the nap-craps as we call them here.<BR/><BR/>also, laughed my head off at sgtsharp's comment because THAT is my reality! Last night was THE WORST!!! At least when thay are babies they are little, cute, and helpless. When they are old enough to know better - AARGH!MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149988691082431580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077497.post-68474164024347667722008-10-09T03:56:00.000-04:002008-10-09T03:56:00.000-04:00As everyone has said before, right now, I suggest ...As everyone has said before, right now, I suggest doing whatever works. I hate 3-6 too. Lila's 2 and Liv's 3.5 and it's not any better on this end. If I don't have a healthy snack prepared, I sometimes let them stuff whatever they want in their mouths just so the crying and on-the-floor tantrums stop. My husband thinks I should be refreshed after their long naps(at the same time). Refreshed my ass! Any bit of refreshment I get during naps is done the second someone wakes up screaming and throws herself on the floor.<BR/><BR/>Lila lived in her MobyWrap for several weeks (www.mobywrap.com). Olivia was so busy, I needed two hands at all times. So, I'm going to second the babywearing. Is the sling not working out? Lila didn't like the sling, she liked the MobyWrap better and at 3-months, I started wearing her on the front in the Ergo-we still use it now w/both girls EVERYDAY. Sometimes, you just have to find the right babywearing device (they consign really well - but, is there a babywearing workshop or store you can go to try on different ones?). <BR/><BR/>Getting outside is a great idea too. If he's snuggled next to you and getting some fresh air, he may stop eating for a bit and give you a second to breath!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491605584777030663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077497.post-33100487524406053322008-10-09T02:52:00.000-04:002008-10-09T02:52:00.000-04:00Andrew might like being in a sling - just a simple...Andrew might like being in a sling - just a simple one piece of fabric thing that makes him feel all snuggled up & safe.
