Faith,No offense taken, just a point that breastfeeding may not be the
best option for the family.� I think we can all agree that in most
cases, it is the best for baby.

The majority of time baby was with us, even today it is that way.� Every
once in a while we go sans child, but reliable sitters that I trust are
so hard to find.� My last one just went off to college.� Now a days it
is a matter of finding the right kind of sitter, rather than taking her
with us.� Until she was a year, she did pretty much sleep in her crib,
by herself.� A trip at that time upset the balance and it has pretty
much been a family bed since, which works for us, but I know it doesn't
with most.� I used a baby sling sometimes, but most of the time if she
wanted to play or be held, I just stopped and interacted with her.� My
back would not of been able to handle it either!
