What do they do that makes them a natural planning Family: (cloth diapers, baby wearing, breastfeeding, etc.) just about everything, from birth and beyond. we birth them where we make them, home sweet home. after a medically managed disaster of a birth ending in cesarean with the twins i told myself there has to be a better way, which led me down a long winding path through birthcenters, midwives offices and ended with freebirthing. my freebirth with eryx was so empowering. im planning on freebirthing this one too. once theyre born we wear them and cosleep, we also practice elimination communication, with cloth diaper backup in the newborn days, until we get into our groove.breastfeeding is a given at this point, i believe strongly in childled weaning so ill be tandem nursing. oy... but im ready! after all i went through trying to salvage my breastfeeding relationship with the twins im ready for anything life throws my way!
