I had an awful experience nearly two weeks ago... It wasnt nice and i have to say that my love of 'attachment parenting' methods has really helped me get through
Jasper is now 14 months and though i havent worn him for around 2.5 months (since finding out i was pregnant and subsequently finding and buying a buggy) but as soon as i found out i was not with child i wanted to wear my son again.
Its amazing how much it has helped, having my little boy strapped to my back has made me feel less empty some how. I am still sharing the world with my young child and that makes me so happy
Same with breastfeeding. I was told by the hospital 'your milk will come in and it will be uncomfortable and very distressing knowing that you cannot feed your baby'
mum told me when it happened with her first child it was horrible
But i am still feeding Jasper So i just fed him a bit more and the closeness and extra cuddles were just what both of us needed after such a trying week.
so yes, 'alternative parenting' has sort of kept me going this week.
And i wanted to share x
