A little while after Audrey was born, I joined a breastfeeding support group on Facebook. People would post questions, not all breastfeeding related. One that kept recurring went something like this: "My child screams whenever I put him down and doesn't sleep. Help." And invariably, the answers would be: (1) babywearing and (2) bed sharing.

I do not think these answers are particularly helpful. I mean they help you get by but they don't provide a solution. I eventually un-joined because you could predict every answer. So, supportive, yes. Helpful? Not really.

Patrick was in his crib starting at 2 months, waking once. He started on formula when I went back to work when he was 13 weeks old. He wore disposable diapers.

Audrey has not spent an entire night in her crib yet. We bed share. She has had maybe 2 oz of formula, ever. She wears cloth diapers.

I don't know where this is going. I think it is that I am wondering if I am doing the right thing. Blah blah blah whine boringcakes. I will try to form cohrerent thoughts later.
