  • ipickpretty Lucky to have family that supports both my reading habits & girl crushes (see note)   3w
  • ipickpretty @classychaos I also got some good tips from "Babywise" book (latest ed.), though the one-size-fits-all approach didn't entirely work for us.   3w
  • classychaos @ipickpretty Thanks soooooo much!   3w
  • crownprincesa I'll have to check out that "practical wisdom for parents" book. Thanks for the rec!   3w
  • em_gentry I love the Baby Whisperer! I keep that one on my coffee table. Her EASY method had both of my kids waking at midnight, 3, and 6 within days of starting it, and 2 weeks later, they had dropped the midnight feed. I know not every kid is the same, but it worked for us!   3w
  • darci05 Ummmmm, so creaking thrilled to have stumbled upon your IG profile!! Missed you in blog land!   3w
  • ipickpretty @em_gentry Good to know, thanks! Drove myself crazy trying to follow baby books last time, so I'm trying to take it all more w/ grain of salt this go round; will give Baby Whisperer a go.   3w
  • ipickpretty @darci05 Hey! Miss you & blog land too but enjoying the writing break too; IG & Twitter have been a fun way to keep up :-).   3w
  • em_gentry The only thing I read about was sleeping habits. I have shocked myself with how few pregnancy (none) and parenting (this one) books I've read. Considering that I don't buy a pair of shoes without crawling all over the Internet, this is very unlike me.   3w

  • ipickpretty @saramaymay If it helps, I wish I was in Dallas right now for the Texas game!   7mon
