I wasn’t a soother mom before, but I am now. The babies I’ve had since we started fostering have just needed the extra comfort, and I am totally fine with it. So being that we had three babies for a time, we had a LOT of soothers laying around. When the bigger babies needed bigger soothers, the little soothers all went to the little baby. Meanwhile, the big babies only used a soother in their beds, but the little baby needed one more often. So if you can see where this is going, we have a few big soothers, and one million small soothers.
Ok. Not a million. But, like, too many. More than one baby needs.
But a couple of days ago, I went to pop a soother into the baby, and found we had very few soothers left. Like, only one of the good ones. And you can very likely appreciate the importance of a good soother. So at the next opportunity, I lifted out the crib mattress, and myyyyy goodness.
Yes. There were six soothers all lovingly tucked between the mattress and the wall. SIX! 😂
Retrieving them was a fun challenge, but I did it, and I have a nice stack of soothers to get us through the nights to come, lol!
