So sorry for your loss of Maxwell! I am happy to hear that you opened your heart to a new baby. They never replace our beloved companions, but can make coping with their loss easier to bear.
All of our three wanted constant holding when they were babies, and still sleep with us every night. Our only saving grace was that as they grew older, the little ones wanted to be playing with their "big brother(s)". They spend most of their days cuddling and playing together with us. We specifically wanted two (I know...we ended up with three!) so that they would have a buddy when we are away from home. I know that this solution is not practical for everyone, but it has worked for us over the years. |
