It seems as if the moment baby enters the world, you automatically become a magnet for unsolicited advice. Sure, some of it might be helpful, but you’re likely to receive some crazy suggestions.
What is the worst parenting advice you’ve received or heard?

To let your baby self soothe itself 😳 it's a newborn... you're not supposed to just let it cry itself to sleep when it's that small.

I breastfeed, and I was told to stop doing skin to skin and put him down because I was spoiling Daylin and that with the second baby, you're supposed to exclusively pump. He wasn't even a day old and I was feeding him at that very moment.

You can never spoil an infant. Period. They've been inside of you for 9 months, and they still need their momma even though there outside of you.

"Put whiskey on his gums, it helps with teething" ...whether that's true or not I'm not gonna give my 4 month old liquor!

@nrs.corradini7996 yes yes yes I agree. The cry it out method should be used ONLY as a very last resort and definitely on a baby that's much older than a newborn! Basically breaks baby's trust in you by doing that

@emkasting my dad used to sneak beer in my bottles to get me to sleep. And would tell me to do it for Desmond...... Hell No!

@emkasting, even when my baby is older, idk if I could even do it then! It seems just so headless to let them cry.

Sounds like this story I heard about this daycare in my city that was drugging infants with Benedryl so they would sleep @patientlyawaitingdaylin
