Just after we completed a week of sleep training via the Sleepeasy Solution, Lulu started cutting her first tooth… As soon as that tooth came in, she had a day of calm and then a second tooth began coming in. Lulu got her first two teeth within 5 days. Amazing.
We completely abandoned sleep expectations during this [...]

Now that Lulu is 6 months old, I feel like I’m old hat at breastfeeding and, considering the number of issues I have had to deal with along the way, I have nifty insight on some of the things that can come up.
