Worst Parenting Advice?

Here, Bumpies share the craziest tips they’ve heard.

What is the worst parenting advice you’ve received or heard?

Re: Worst Parenting Advice?

  • Give baby an ice cube while teething!!!! They said it'll just melt so they can't choke!!!!
  • I found it incredibly senseless when friends would come over (who already have kids) and say, "you think newborns are hard? This is the easiest stage of parenting! Just you wait." I can't think of a worse thing to say to new parents considering how stressful and overwhelming it is when you first bring a baby home.
