Consistent babying and regressing all three kids will pay off ~ I promise! And this is not a short-term plan, so look forward to hoarding those hugs for many, many months. In our family, we work diligently at attachment for at least as long as the child waited for us :)Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100829278707179988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-24885889458984921262010-08-21T06:32:47.247-05:002010-08-21T06:32:47.247-05:00Chrissy-

Been following and praying, though!<br />We brought our daughter home at 2 years old, and did just that. Rocked and gave her a bottle for bed, for wake up, and for nap. She, ummmm, still has to have her bottle usually to go to bed (she'll be 3 in a month). We're working on weaning from the bottle now (since she IS going to be 3 in a month!), but feel like it's been WELL worth all the bonding time! Just my 2 cents! <br />Oh, and they are BEAUTIFUL!!! :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525103615498866900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-10090225018930307102010-08-18T19:30:59.222-05:002010-08-18T19:30:59.222-05:00Good job, Chrissy!

Anna was in her pouch many hours when she first came home and loved it!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611409506092337512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-8179497511495988262010-08-18T18:35:50.647-05:002010-08-18T18:35:50.647-05:00You know I know. :)You know I know. :)_https://www.blogger.com/profile/16045401564948651914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-7066120207301933842010-08-18T15:05:19.903-05:002010-08-18T15:05:19.903-05:00Good for you!

No one will see all 5 of us together anywhere. I know people will want to see our little girl, but they can wait a few more months. I am sure your friends and family will respond graciously to your request. Great explanation and again, good for you!Meehan Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869745447035630752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-8737461327028447402010-08-18T14:32:09.000-05:002010-08-18T14:32:09.000-05:00My heart hurts for you girlfriend!

I've had kids for whom secure attachment took a year, so hang in there and don't stress out if it takes awhile...<br /><br />Mary, mom to many, including 4 from Ethiopia and 2 from KoreaOwlhavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914960326214046859noreply@blogger.com
