This works a lot better with a singleton than with twins :-) There are a lot of things that I wasn't able to do with the boys that I did with DD
I'm sure! This is also one of the reasons we are waiting for #2. I don't know how I could do it! I'm Also sure with #2 things will be different. Not to mention its harder to make #2 parenting this way
Celiacmom: First, thanks for being so open to questions. I wonder if you plan on having more than one child. If you do, have you thought about how your parenting might be different with #2? I am just thinking of my almost three year old--there is absolutely no way I'd be able to follow an infant's lead on everything and be with him/her 24/7 for sleep and such. Lucy would completely flip out.
I would like to have one more child. I plan to wait a few years and I'm sure you are all correct that my parenting will change. I am hopeful that L will be old enough that he will chose to be more independent. I will say that the ability to wear a child makes it much easier to follow all their leads as they are literally attached to you.
Having two made it even more of a necessity for me to figure out how to get stuff done. I tandem wear them and can throw dinner in the crock pot, vacuum and do other light housework and get them both to sleep at the same time. I've even shampooed carpets like this.
The cost savings were a big incentive for CD and BF.
I don't know how it'd work with two kids of different ages, but with infant twins, it's working for us.
