old apartment was FREEZING, and freaking out over what to write about
in my first post.

in this house can't imagine life with out her < 3 btw the last comment is the best LOL!

in a day, etc. (Meanwhile I kept baby busy, happy and learning during her awake times with activities from my infant play book, Begin With A
Blanket)

in public.

in 60 degree year round weather, I don't, and if you think your sweet little 6 - month -

old baby and one
in a nine - year -

Available
in two sizes, small for 0 to 6 months and medium for 6 to 12 month year
olds, the sleeping bag portion is generously sized, which allows your baby the freedom to start using their little legs while you remain safe
in the knowledge that they won't kick their
blanket off during nap time, ensuring they stay warm all night.
Somehow, sitting
in a closet quietly singing to a much - loved babydoll, hiding
in the leafy bower of an
old grandfather oak with my nose
in a book, or throwing a
blanket over an end - table and crawling under it with a flashlight just made the world a little smaller, a little friendlier, a little less overwhelming.

old enough to sit on his own).

It's certainly not something I'd use with a baby younger than eight or nine months because it's large, and they might wake themselves up rolling around
in (we also pad it with extra
blankets from our son's bed at home for added comfort and familiarity, something that we couldn't do if he were an infant), but for
older children it's worth every penny!

blankets?
Swaddling: Snugly wrapping a baby
in a
blanket is an age -
old technique.
I have nursed all my children
in all sorts of public places, using a
blanket or whatever else was available, either to cover myself and the baby, or, as now with a 14 month
old who doesn't like to nurse under a
blanket, to shield myself so that nothing is showing that shouldn't be.
