What’s something you did and wish you wouldn’t have because you know better now?

Question

We all make mistakes and we all learn from them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Obsessing about everything that were told is "right". Like feeding her on the clock, panicking when she didn't poop for a day despite showing no signs of pain, panicking about her not making enough sounds or you know.. Whatever else shit you can panic about.

Answer

Wish I didn't stress so much about switching to formula. At the time it seemed like such a huge deal and now I realize it really didn't matter lol.

Answer

Caring what others think. Blocking out what the “right thing” to do for society and focusing on what was right for my own child 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I wish I wouldn’t have been overly excited for all the things we were going to do one day and instead enjoyed more of the moments as they were. I was always so eager to get to the next phase that looking back on my little baby seems like I don’t remember him being so small bc I was always looking at what was ahead and not right infront of me.

Answer

Letting other people make me feel insecure about how I'm parenting when I'm doing nothing wrong. My kids are gonna be 2 and 3 next month and im past it now, but letting people dig in on my doubts was the biggest regret I ever had. People prey on postpartum mommies I swear, and its totally uncool.

Answer

I know there's nothing wrong with formula but I stopped at 9 months and wish I went the whole year breastfeeding. I hated the price of formula and won't do it again.

Answer

I think it is awfully judgmental to say switching to or choosing formula is something women should know better than to do. Some women simply can’t breastfed their babies for a number of reasons (low supply, poor latch, tongue tie, have to work) or simply choose not to for their mental health.

Answer

I just regret letting people get away with things I wasn't comfortable with to try and keep the peace. I spent my daughter's first year with constant anxiety around my in laws. Don't let anyone make you uncomfortable when it comes to your child. They don't matter but your child does.

Answer

Solids before 6 months with my daughters & forward faced my oldest at 1. She’s 11 now, I didn’t know any better at the time..and the only people I knew with babies were saying that was totally ok. Also my mom never corrected it because that wasn’t the practice in her day either. Also big coats on my daughters in their car seats, loading their cribs with baby blankets & stuffed animals, I could go on & on because I had kids before these things were widely known no-no’s. I have a 1 year old now and do things completely different, and a million times safer 😅

Answer

Thinking he couldn’t fit through the cat door in the gate at the top of the basement stairs. He definitely fit! Horrific day.
