Reply To: Adjusting to Child #2

Thank you all for the advice.

Anon, wow on the tandem nursing! I cannot imagine going through a rough pregnancy nursing a child also! Kol hakavod to you! I was wondering if my son was going to try to start nursing again once the baby is.

I’m really looking forward to having this child, and I’m getting nervous. I am due right around yom tovim time, but luckily am just basically going to move into my mother’s house for a month!

Feivel, I think what cantoresq is getting at is that each child has to be raised according to his/her needs (a Jewish concept also!). Asking your Rav questions is different than reading a book. I’ve read quite a few books on behavior and such; some apply to my son, some don’t. I do think good parenting is a lot about trial and error. There is a reason everyone says first children are experiments LOL.
