Best praise vs top criticism for Ergobaby Embrace Newborn Carrier
“You will need to process and understand that living is about making decisions and giving up on things all the time. If you have 2 boys, you will miss not having a girl. If you have one child, can miss having two. If you are married, miss being single and having more fun around… Anything can be seen as “feeling incomplete”. Any choice means “not choosing” something else. Enjoy the happiness of all you have built, embrace your amazing family and try not to overthink it.”
“It’s so funny, my Velcro baby is 11 and hyper independent, but will still ask to sleep with me a time or 2 a month. He’s practically a teenager now, so I embrace it. My 9-year-old was a very independent infant, which honestly traumatized me at the time. My last baby. Didn’t want to sleep in my arms. I could nurse/rock him to sleep, but had to transfer between 7 and 12 minutes later or he’d wake up. It broke my heart, especially compared to my first. Well, he’d crawl back in if he could. Always has to be touching my body now. Fell asleep on my chest last night! So in my experience, there is a quota and they’ll make it one way or another. Neither of them match what I would have predicted as infants!”
