What happens when you break the rules and don't put your baby down before she falls asleep? You get a baby that will fall asleep in your arms at the drop of a hat.
Our sweet Adelaine
I always wanted a baby that would fall asleep in our arms. I followed rules with Hadley and felt like I missed out on things. With Lainey I did what I wanted not what books or people have told me to do and have enjoyed it more. I had to be a mom in the way it works for me.

Enjoying my baby that is growing up too fast, as always.

It's always great to get others advice (esp. your older sis), but it's even better when you can hear others advice, and take what you need, or what you dont, and determine for yourself what will work best. I think it's a sign of maturity and confidence in yourself. I think you are an amazing mom with beautiful daughters who are lucky to have you to raise them.
