Million Moms Challenge | Do you BABY your Baby?

Some of the greatest advice that I received after the birth of my first child was… Don’t over BABY your baby.  I wish I could kiss the woman who gave me this little treasure. But alas, she was probably one of the cute little old ladies in the grocery store who stopped to take a peek at my new little one.  Why would I take some crazy advice from a stranger at the store?  Well, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Before I became a Mother, I would see my friends with their babies.  I would see how much work they were.  I saw my friends sometime struggling day in and day out to juggle baby and all of their other responsibilities. They would become overwhelmed and exhausted; feeling like the only time they could get anything accomplished was when the baby was sleeping.  They would work on short little snippets of rest in the valiant cause of caring for and entertaining baby every waking moment.
