I hate when parents complain about their baby not sleeping through the night.. what do you expect? It’s a brand new…

Um Hi. So my daughter loves water. Had cereal in her bottle. We did the c.i.o. method which worked wonders. Haven't put a blanket in the crib yet but it will happen soon. My babes is perfectly healthy and happy. I'm a pretty good parent. So is my husband. Note that not everyone does everything the same and if you come at someone like you did in this post I would have been offended as well. Also didn't breast feed. I'm a fan of fed is best. Good job on your research though. 😀😄

👍🏻 being polite is nice...

Bring up the “well my parents did that and I’m fine” completely ignores the fact that the babies who weren’t fine can’t say so because they died.

@sabreycastro1996 She had water as a newborn to clear her sinuses. That's neither here or there. Research is research. Proven..unproven..all moms go different routes. Just as long as we uplift each other then we'll stay strong. 😄❤

@mommylovescoraline, I have absolutely no problem with people who don’t breastfeed, and in regards to the water, I’m talking about newborns, your daughter is almost 1. And yes this post sounded more rude then what was intended. When I do give advice I’m very polite about it but some people decide to come back at me being rude lol

@izzytastic I did the CIO too. It worked great and the doctor have us the go ahead. My daughter also drinks water. 😄😀

@raycharles1230, that was years ago, this now and there’s a lot of new studies. I’m aware of what SIDS is. But regardless things shouldn’t be left in a crib that a child could suffocate on.

How did we all survive when all the things you claim are bad for kids, many of our own parents did? And FYI it's not sids if your child suffocates on an object in their bed. The cause of death would be accidental suffocation. SIDS stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The definition is a cause of infant death with no clear explanation. Essentially, something shuts off in the child on its own. There literally is no explanation. Here is a link for you to study sids so you can give better "safe advice".

@izzytastic, pretty sure I’m not going to be the only person that will tell you that cereal in a bottle is a chocking hazard. 🤷🏻‍♀️ you tried it for a month tho, some moms won’t even attempt to do it because they don’t wanna ruin their boobs.

👍🏻 being polite is nice...

@mommaabbott, I’m nice when I give the advice.. until they decide to bark back all rude like.. and tell me to mind my business but they’re the ones putting business out publicly and expect someone not to say something.

@mommaabbott, the blanket thing i meant for new born babies that are not capable of moving the blanket if it gets in the face.

@mommaofjais, I’m always very nice about it.. but it’s the way they bite back at me when I was the one being polite about it in the first place.

@izzytastic, when I give someone SAFETY advice and they choose to continue to do unsafe shit with their child then yes I’m gonna criticize. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mommaabbott, 🙄

@gallofamily.6, and I totally respect you for that!

We let both of our kids CIO. Sue me. Oh and we gave our baby a couple sips of water from her bottle to help clear her throat when we didn’t have anything else. Let’s see how else can I prove to you that I’m a horrible parent. Hmmm, my son has had a blanket in bed since he was about 11 months old, my doc said we could start food for our kids at their 4 month appt (and we did!). Maybe when you “give advice” try using a respectful tone or say hey, I’ve been doing research that shows blah blah blah. That way people don’t think you’re some pretentious know it all mom who’s judging them. Try that.

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 THIS!!!

I agree with most of your post buuuuuut “Here’s the opinion of European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHN; PDF):” ‘The available data suggest that both renal function and gastrointestinal function are sufficiently mature to metabolise nutrients from complementary foods by the age of 4 months.’”

Also, maybe people would be more willing to accept your advice if you were slightly nicer about it...and that’s just my advice..

@sabreycastro1996 I completely agree. I appreciate when other moms try to be informative but to point ya know. Really not trying to make you mad btw just wanted to throw out a different view on the subject.

Solid rant 😹

@gallofamily.6, I give advice just because they may not know better and sometimes it’s just nice to know better.. like I always say “Know better do better”. And I completely understand where you’re coming from.

Okay so my question with all this is did they ask for advice or were you just throwing info out there. I mean I agree on 90% of what your saying. I think baby lead weaning is a good idea..but that's a whole different subject. I get your ranting but not all parents/ mom's are doing what they do for reason you I used to have to use blankets with my daughter because we didn't have our heater fixed until winter was over last year. Not trying to make you mad I'm just thinking about other moms situations could be different than you realize..

@mberjuste5, I’m just tooo nice 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

Thats why i stop givinf advice lol..unless asked

Lol...😂😂Amen!!!

@izzytastic, what’s a joke? Lol
