I am not going to lie to you and say that it was easy to transition, because it wasn't! Brayden was used to getting me all of the time. However, since I exclusively nurse Kenley, that just wasn't possible.<br /><br />My mom said something to me that really hit me- she said you have to choose the bigger need. Since I am basically responsible for sustaining Kenley's life, her needs are the bigger ones, but not all of the time. When I nurse K, I always have something out for Brayden to play with, or I let him watch part of a movie. Having snacks that he can get on his own has helped as well. I use the time when K is sleeping to have my time with him, and somedays, the dishes and laundry just have to wait- because he is the bigger need. <br /><br />It's not easy but it certainly is doable! :) Good luck!Julie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14765401853636543444noreply@blogger.com
