]]> Sometimes a mother expecting another baby worries about how her first child will feel about the time the mother spends nursing the new baby. I can say from experience that it works out just fine (have a set of toys and books and snacks at the ready for nursing sessions, and use the time to cuddle with and read to your older child). Eventually, your child might even come to appreciate the convenience of nursing, just like my 4-year-old has. We had this conversation yesterday:

4-year-old: “Mom, let’s play the elf game when we get home.”

Me: “Okay, after I get Nicole back to sleep.”

4-year-old: “No, Nicole wants to play!”

Me: “We’ll see.”

4-year-old (inspiration striking): “You could nurse Nicole! Nurse Nicole! You can nurse Nicole in the elf house!”

Later at home, in the middle of the game…

4-year-old: “Take Baby Elf to sleep. Nurse her!”

If you celebrate Christmas, I hope yours is a merry one!

]]> Remember when I mentioned how Babylune author Kate would donate a particular gift to charity depending on how many page views her site got in December? She announced her Christmas gift today. A hint: baa baa!
