@amysbabies, oh my /: yikes
I mean my daughter watches cartoons with breakfast and that’s about it
Sometimes dinner but that’s rare

@lost.sock.thief, that’s awesome about your mother in law! I wonder if she downloaded a baby app and got a baby care book to be on the same page? Or she is just really into education- I love life long learners! Lol. Yes we were tough! My MIL laughingly told us about how my husbands poop for a time when he was a baby was white. Well on our well baby checks that was one of the warning questions they ask- it’s not normal and should have been checked. She said it was because he just drank so much milk. She also thought it was perfectly okay to keep a biting toddler she baby sat in a high chair in front of the tv every day because he was entertained and the mother knew 😱. I had a pretty strong reaction when she shared that with me. It was when her daughter was a toddler too and I guess he would bite her at times?

@amysbabies, sorry random side comment
Every advice I’ve got from older generations is usually pretty wrong like you said
Except my mother in laws everything she’s said and done is like really up to date idk if she reads on it or if she’s just always been like that but it’s crazy lol because I’ve never met an older person who knows the new stuff or anything like that

Hell even my own mom was like confused why addi was still on formula at six months
They switched me over to cow milk at six months

When I did start weaning addi off formula to milk I was doing it little by little and my mom also got confused and was like why are you mixing the two ? I said “it’s easier for her to adjust her stomach could be sensitive to the milk” My mom was like “oh when you were about six months old you had formula one day then the next I just handed you a bottle of milk and it was fine”
😂😂 guess we were all some tough babies

Aww welcome and congratulations . I’m due June 29th with my second ❤️

I should also add, be wary of advice from older generations. With time, we learn new things and realize certain things are actually dangerous. My MIL, while some advice was helpful, and least half or more was wrong and I’m glad I knew the difference, rather than rely on her. They also have a what to expect- the first year book :)

A lot of things come naturally, but I highly recommend taking a newborn care class. Your insurance should offer an option, if not check WIC (anyone can attend their classes I heard) or a local moms group for local info. As I said, a lot comes natural, but there are some things that seem natural, but are actually wrong.
