Mom Achievement Unlocked: i actually prepared a meal and then ate said meal without my child crying
maybe it's just my child, but i feel like as soon as i sit down with food the NTH starts to cry. it can be disheartening. like, yes, i love you child but for the love of all that is holy i need to put this food in my mouth NOW. forgetting to eat is a thing. having a million things you feel you "should do" before eating is also a thing. so, by 2 pm you might have had 1 granola bar and that is just not good for anybody.
hot tip:
the number of foodstuffs one has consumed is in direct correlation the the number of nerves one has left (MomMathTM)
finding food you can eat with one hand is crucial. also, a sling wrap or a carrier is sooooo helpful if you have a baby that likes to be held constantly or needs to be held to settle, or is crying like a banshee and you are starving. but, crumbs happen. you will most likely get whatever you are eating on your infant. full disclosure: i have licked chocolate icing off of my son's head. #NoShame
holding your child while still having both hands free is LIFE GIVING my friends. baby-wearing is 'wear' it's at! ;)
