😢😢😢 What do you mean worse??? I don't think I can do worse. I've gotten three hours of sleep in the last 24hrs and he won't let me do anything. I can't put him down for the life of me. Is attachment apart of this growth spurt? He just started doing this. He won't sleep in his co-sleeper. Only on my chest. I had to give him his pacifier in order to take a shower today. I don't see how single mothers do it. They get so much respect from me.

I shouldn't have said worse. In my experience the second spurt they bring in a bigger volume of milk and suck more at each of the many nursings. The attachment is part of it. Both my girls were glued to me. My oldest was like that anyway. Since she was born early and small she nursed ever 1-1.5 hour anyway. Growth spurt she nursed for 30 minutes, fell asleep for 45, woke screaming and did it all again for 36 consecutive hours. I was a disaster. This one was early but was a healthier weight so she nurses about every 2-3 hours. Growth spurt she nurses every 1-1.5 hours but is stuck to me like glue. All day. All night. We just got through her second one a week or so ago. Hang in there. It will be over soon and then you'll get to see him looking all big and strong because of what your body can do. It's amazing!

Oh okay. That doesn't sound too bad. I should just invest in an infant carrier for those attachment phases so that I can get things done. I'll just need prayer fr sleep.

I love the maya wrap. It's soft and easy to thread. I used it constantly with my first and am using it some now with my second. I also love the BoBa and Ergo carriers.

Just bought an Ergo from BRU today. He's been sleeping so peacefully and I've been able to use the restroom without waking him! I have the k'tan but I feel it's getting too snug on us and after an hour my hack hurts. My back still feels amazing and I've been wearing the carrier for 3 hrs straight! Took h out changed diaper, did tummy time, and fed him and he's back in it. I see myself actually getting housework done now!

Wait till he's older and you can put him on your back in it. So fun!!! My DD used to SQUEAL when she saw me getting the carrier on. I used to grocery shop and run errands with her on my back and people would be constantly stilling me to cooment on how they couldn't get enough of her big open mouth smile. One couple drove by me in the parking lot, stopped and reversed just to tell me they've never seen anything like it. I'd walk by windows at the local shopping sea and car h glimpses if her that we're just too previous . So glad you got the Ergo rather than the Bjorn. I wasted my $$ on that hunk of junk!

The one I went to only had one kind. Try going on ergobaby.com and read the descriptions of each type to see what will fit your lifestyle and weather. I got it @bru because I had a $132 credit. I want a diff kind to be honest. One that has mesh. And you might need to get the $25 infant insert since your boy is so young. They say when the babies have great head and neck support you don't need it. But it also says to use one for under 4 months but my son has good neck control. I like to find deals and might return this one if I can get a deal in one with mesh. Miami heat is no joke!

I have the organic cotton one. Breastfeeding Support-imageuploadedbycurlynikki1346802245.515018.jpg

I read the bjorn isn't good for babies hips. I'm still going to look for a deal on one. I want another color and mesh. BRU only had one kind in stock. Going to look online and see. My dh got to wear it and he loves it. The baby slept in it on him and he was so happy. It was cute.

I swear he's been here before. He has great neck control to only be 10days. Would you say $130 was worth it? That's a lot to waste.
