I'm a similar sufferer of out-of-control guilt about all the e-mails and messages that have piled up unanswered. But, where to start!? Anyway, did you ever get any information about starting Wesley on rice cereal? My pediatrician recommended that we wait until 5-6 months, not only because babies should have better neck control before transitioning to solid foods (I guess it makes it easier for them to swallow) but also because she thought the proteins would just aggravate Matteo's digestive issues, making him even fussier. Whoa. Full stop. I abandoned all hope that it would help him sleep better as soon as I heard that. What about you? Any luck on figuring out how to satiate your hungry hungry baby? {No need to write back if you don't have time--we'll get there eventually!} Love to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410416147167483764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12387939.post-19996903302521510442012-06-27T09:51:30.630-07:002012-06-27T09:51:30.630-07:00Camille, there is so much guilt involved with new ...Camille, there is so much guilt involved with new parenting (am I screwing up my child irrevocably?)... as a fellow lifelong guilt wallower, I totally understand the compulsion to add more guilt over seemingly fraying relationships.<br />It just isn't worth it, my friend. You'll be amazed when you make it through the first year, how many people will STILL call and email and check in with you and invite you places. You'll be amazed they still reach out after a year of neglect on your part.<br />Your friends love you. The ones who understand will give you a free pass. The ones who don't will hopefully talk to you about it, and you'll do your best. And even with those friends who don't realize how much your life has changed, they will still be happy to see you again, whenever that is.<br />One more important point: With your busy friends, don't forget they have busy lives too... it's hard to remember when our new mama lives are so inward-pointing, so focused on our own little, life-changing moments and tasks, but their lives are still happening. Many of them are probably feeling guilty like you for not making time to come see you. The point is, friends care. Nothing to be guilty about.emiliehttp://onefootonshore.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12387939.post-81632531876376466222012-06-21T20:34:03.055-07:002012-06-21T20:34:03.055-07:00I know exactly how you feel!
