Co-Sleeping/Bed sharing, Why we do it.

Our Space

When I was pregnant, I was against the idea of Bed-Sharing.  What if I roll on him?  What if he gets stuck?  What about SIDS.. Etc.. Etc..

Guest Post #2 at Rediscovering Domesticity!

Week before last Rediscovering Domesticity ran the first of three guest blogs about "Breastfeeding in the NICU" Rediscovering Domesticity is a blog I have been following for awhile now. 
The first one "Breastfeeding in the NICU: an obtainable goal" is our breastfeeding success story. The second one, up today,  "Breastfeeding in the NICU: Things that help" is about some helpful advice I have gathered in my NICU experience.  So go check it out,  and while your there check out some of her other features, like bloggy basics!
And to all of Rediscovering Domesticity's readers checking out Frog in Stitches for the first time.. WELCOME!!
Here is some of my other NICU posts!

Drs: The Good, The Bad, The Dangerous

One of our best nurses, she taught us how to swaddle.

Most NICU mom's have gone through enough Drs that you can tell real quick what kind of Dr you have on your hands.
The first thing you must know and truly believe is, Drs are NOT God. Period. 

"I need a pattern!" tutorial :)

Have you ever had one of those moments were your like.. "oh that is so cute!  If I only had the pattern..."  Well... If your creative, you don't necessarily have to have one!  :)  Granted I do suggest having a good sewing How-to book (This is the one I suggest, It's what I use!) since you won't have pattern instructions, and you may want to have a good seam ripper... Cuz you'll use it...

Gather your supplies :)

Make it Personal

Fun Blankets are the first way to make it yours

If your a long-term NICU resident like we were you will want to make your bed have some personality.  The longer you are there the more you will add to it.
