Do your research ladies...

Sa

Do your research. Google. Read. Ask your pediatrician. Ask your mother. Ask your friends. Ask the women on here. Then do yourself a favor...

Do whatever the hell you think is best for YOUR baby.

This is supposed to be a place for support, advice, encouragement, etc for those of us that had babies, or were due almost 5 months ago! Just because you don't agree with something that someone does with their baby doesn't make it wrong.

There are plenty of things that I haven't agreed with. I studied early childhood development, worked as a nanny/postpartum doula/third parent for over ten years of my life. I know a little about babies and development. If I don't agree with any one of you, as long as you're not asking about how much shaking causes shaken baby syndrome or something crazy, I keep it to myself and try to be as helpful as possible.

Feeding solids has become a huge topic. If you started solids already, I hope it's working out and I'd love to see pics of your babies covered in foods. If you're waiting until 6 months, I hope your baby loves solids and can we see those pics in October please?

Point is, we all want the best for our kids. Being a mom is hard enough without being judged by other moms for every little choice you make. If you don't have anything nice to say, shut up. 😆
