I will start in a bit I have to finish an app that stuns babies.
My brother's baby was colicky. For months, if he was not unconscious from sleep he would be screaming literally at his maximum volume. Completely binary, -either asleep or creating the most horrendous noise that makes you want to bash your head against the wall after hearing it for hours on end. Until you have experienced this it is hard to put into words how awful it is. Parents will pay any price for relief from this. And yes, the only thing that shut him up (they discovered eventually) was a CD of a vacuum cleaner running on an endless loop. It only sort of worked sometimes though :
My first was like that for about 3 months (her mother for 39 years and counting).
My newest is very calm like her mother. What is funny is that my current wife is worried that I won't bond as much with my new daughter because I won't have to pace the floor with her all night. That is a risk I am willing to take.
It was released and downloaded about 15k times. It worked on very cheap Android devices like a charm, but the wifi hotspot standards are very fragmented, and thus it didn't work very well. We want to retool it with BLE (bluetooth low energy), which would be far better, but we have yet to find a developer with the time and the chops to do it.
My Uncle has three kids and he often talks about how he bonded with each one more than the last. Every child before taught him not to take for granted the little moments with the next, and the effect compounded. I don't know if that applies in general, but it sort of makes sense to me. You get better at things the more you do them. Why should bonding with your child technically be any different?What is funny is that my current wife is worried that I won't bond as much with my new daughter because I won't have to pace the floor with her all night.
Perhaps but I should hope I love them the same.
