Stolen Survey

 Stolen from Luvnmybri.

1. WILL YOU LET YOUR BABY CRY ITSELF TO SLEEP?

No. I can’t stand letting a baby cry when they are sleepy. Now when she is trying a screaming ass fit for no reason, she can keep on till she’s done.

2. WILL YOU BREAST OR BOTTLE FEED?

I tried to breastfeed, but Doll would have none of it. I wanted so badly to breastfeed. I ended up pumping for six weeks until I dried up.

3. VAGINAL BIRTH OR C-SECTION (IF YOU KNOW)?

She was c-section. I wanted vaginal, but I stopped dilating after I was induced and then she became distressed.

4. USE SLING TO CARRY BABY ALL THE TIME?

I wanted vaginal, but I stopped dilating after I was induced and then she became distressed.I’ve used the sling for a bit, mainly things like going to the mall or Wally world, but mainly I just sling her across my hip and off we go.

5. NEED DOUBLE STROLLER (IF YOU HAVE YOUNGER ONES) OR SINGLE?

No.

6. BABY SLEEP IN BED WITH YOU, IN BASSINET NEXT TO BED, OR IN OWN ROOM?

She was in her bassinet for the first couple of weeks, but I went back to work for a little while and I missed her so much that I brought her into the bed with me when I was home. She’s been with us every since.

7. WILL YOU NEED A BABY GATE FOR STAIRS?

No. The stairs are outside.

No. The stairs are outside.

8. WILL YOU HAVE TO WORK OR BE SAHM?

SAHM.

9. ANY PETS BABY WILL GET TO CHASE AFTER?

We had a dog, but when we moved we had to give him up. Now she torments my mom’s dog.

10. ANY OLDER SIBLINGS FOR BABY OR PLANNING ANY YOUNGER SIBLINGS?

No older, well her uncle that’s only three years older then her. We aren’t really trying, but we aren’t not trying.

11. WILL YOU LEAVE BABY WITH OTHER CARETAKER/DAYCARE?

Only with other family members and that would be my family, not his!!!

12. WILL YOU HAVE YOUR HUSBAND GET UP FOR NIGHTTIME FEEDINGS?

Oh yeah, he shared.

13. WHAT TYPE OF DISCIPLINE WILL YOU USE?

I don’t want to spank unless nothing else works. I don’t think hitting her and telling her hitting isn’t okay is very smart. Besides she’s still too young to tell what kind of little hellion she will be.

14. IF ON BOTTLE WILL BABY TAKE BOTTLE TO BED WITH ITSELF?

No. We had so much trouble with Jesse’s teeth because Mom let him have a bottle ALL the time. Poor thing had seven teeth pulled and seven more capped. I don’t want to go through that with her. She was off the bottle at like nine months anyway. She wanted to use a cup like Jesse.

15. JUST A MATTRESS AND SHEET, OR BEDDING IN BABY’S CRIB?

We never had a crib. She slept swaddled next to me when she was younger. Now she has her own blanket and takes over my pillows.

16. WILL BABY BE "SPOILED"?

Spoiled, but not a brat.

17. WILL BABY BE INVOLVED IN "PLAY DATES", IF SO STARTING AT WHAT AGE?

I don’t know yet. There really isn’t anyone around her age right now and besides Jesse makes her world go round. I’m fairly sure she loves him more than me.

Y’all take care and hug those babies tight.
