Merry Christmas! for the record I'm stuck at work so thought I'd peruse here
I *might* be UTD with #2 and DD1 would be 3 when next one arrives.
My DD1 is just over 2 and I purposely went into parenting blind, I didn't read too much information past pregnancy and labour.
The thing that happened though was I completly unprepared for alot of things, I had no idea how hard BFing would be, brought all totally the wrong clothes, my MW sent DH out shopping to buy some clothes for her!
I'm nervous about having such a hard time BFing again, I expressed for 12 weeks as DD was a little premmie and couldn't latch, plus I had no idea what I was doing.
I know I'd be far more prepared for what things I would need for baby, the right clothes (warm enough), loads of muslin wipes etc.
I felt like I stuffed up alot of things the first time, I was a nervous wreck and I think I ended up with a bit of PND, although I battled through without any formal support. I know with an active toddler around I can't afford to be sitting in the corner crying, I guess I'm just getting my head around it all.
What would you do different now that you know what you know?
Any advice appreciated
