August 10, 2000

Oh the stress! Whereas up until last week tandem nursing was wonderful, this week it has become a nightmare! Sebastian has become so jealous of Bartholomew that he has tantrums constantly. He especially likes to have them in the evening when Bart has his nice long feed before bed. I am so stressed out that I'm going to start pulling my hair out soon.

I was soooo desperate this afternoon that I decided to try nursing them at the same time for Sebby's nap. I managed to do so by having them both in the football position. Sebby loved it (whew!) but Bart was giving me a "You can't be serious, Mom" look. I don't know what else to do! I have gotten a baby swing too but it does not calm Bart as much as I had hoped. I really did not want to get one because I don't believe in "artificial" baby soothers. But as I have said, I am desperate!

We are thinking of getting a king-size bed too so that our family bed will be more comfortable. I'm hoping that Sebby will feel more secure too since I will have room to stay in the bed while I nurse Bart.

Lots of Love,
Ketherine
