You mention that you care for your grandson - I'm guessing that means you do so on a regular basis? If so, what sorts of things do you need to get done? I'd recommend focusing as much attention on him as you can during the time you care for him and don't worry about things like chores or errands. And if there are things you need to do like making yourself something to eat, perhaps you could wear him in a sling or wrap while you're doing it?
Best of luck to you!!View Thread

You might want to try having someone else give her the bottle. It's not unusual at all for breastfed babies to refuse a bottle from their mother. After all, the real thing is RIGHT THERE!View Thread


My DH and I have co-slept with our 3-year-old and now with our new LO. Co-sleeping is a lot more common than you might think - but many co-sleeping parents choose not to advertise the fact that they do it. With our older DD, we never planned to co-sleep but ended up doing it because she slept so much better. Then we kept doing it because we loved it so much. She is now transitioning into a "big girl" toddler bed in our room, although that's been on hold a bit since DD 2 was born.
Here's a link to some great info on co-sleeping, including safety info:
