I had a preemie who was in the Nic-U for more than 8 weeks, and when she came home I also never wanted to put her down. Which meant that by the time I was ready for her to nap on her own – she had other ideas. She basically took every nap on me for a year and a bit and I both loved it and also sometimes worried I would never get her to sleep on her own. She is 2.5 now and naps on her own, sleeps in her crib every night etc. I sometimes want to pick her back up for a nap since I totally miss those snuggles.

James is adorable! My daughter wouldn’t sleep for naps unless I held her and you know what she’s 21 months old and lays down on her own for naps. I don’t regret holding her and I loved every second of it, even when I had to pee or got thirsty ;). I held her for naps for about almost a year (I can’t remember how long exactly) and she turned out just fine! Follow your mama heart. I love how honest and transparent you are, The first year of motherhood was so hard but so wonderful and amazing and soooooo full of love. Best of luck!!!!

Mine was the same for naps until I went back to work, and now he is 9.5 months and never wants to snuggle. Enjoy those quiet moments together :)

I absolutely love reading your posts about James. It makes my heart happy! My son Ethan is about a month younger than him, so I get a little glimpse into my future. It is so damn true – it does get better. And when they smile and coo at you, it makes all the insanely hard times worth it.

I was only able to have one child, who is now approaching 30. When he was born it was the same for me, he wanted to nurse every hour and was a fussy baby. I was so exhausted, was a zombie and was pretty sure I wasn’t cut out for this mommy business. But I will never forget the time he was 4-6 months old. What a golden age of him being out of the infant stage, his little personality started to sparkle, he recognized people and loved to eat and laugh. Suddenly he was happy most of the time and an absolute joy to be around. I have always thought this was one of the best times in a babie’s life. And if baby is happy, mommy is happy too! Enjoy each and every moment.

Totally with you on the naps! I did that with Charlie pretty much until he was two and even now we sneak in the cuddle naps every once in a while- it’s worth every inconvenience to feel like you are taking advantage of all that cuddle time because we know how quickly the time passes! James is so cute and really- it just keeps getting better and better! Enjoy!!
