I am so glad I have had Natalie as such a good friend. I am the first time mom that is also going through the grieving with my daughter. She is using food as her control by refusing to eat any solid foods, along with hitting me and not wanting me to leave the room without her. There have been days when I dread getting out of bed. I have been using attachment parenting and carrying her around with me whenever possible. Today she got so excited when I put the sling on to carry her and then gave me a big kiss. She has been full of smiles and very content. My dh has been a huge help and she is really starting to bond with him as well. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Natalie to talk with everyday and to get advice from. It is great having someone that knows exactly what you are going through..


I agree that you should read up on attachment and be prepared even if you are bringing home an infant. I wish I had been more prepared.

It definitely is worth it all when they look up at you and give you that beautiful smile.
