What "rules" have you broken?

Ok, they're not exactly rules, but I'm
curious as to what nono's you engage in with LO? I'm thinking about putting the bumper on Anja's crib. She always sleeps so close to the slates, and a leg or arm is always sticking out. I also let her nap with a blanket, not a sleep sack. If she rolls over on her tummy to sleep, I usually don't turn her back on her back. I'm sure I've broken a bunch of other "rules" but those are the ones that come to mind.

Re: What "rules" have you broken?
ditto the crib bumper, although we do have the breathable one. We also have started letting her sleep with a lovie. And I didn't wait 3 days between each new food...and I let the cats hang out with DD unsupervised (like if they're in the den & I'm in the kitchen)..........and I'm sure there are plenty of others!
I also lay him on his tummy to sleep ever since he could roll over.
We already gave DS eggs. He was fine and he loved them.
Oh heck yes.
DD sleeps with a blanket, lovey, and bumpers; got fruits before all veggies; slept in the swing all night and for all naps for 4 months straight; she's tasted egg, peanut butter and almond butter; has taken to sleeping on her tummy; is left unsupervised for brief periods with the cat and dog; rides in the car seat wearing a winter jacket; the TV is on a lot... I'm sure I could think up more. Mother of the Year over here!! Frankly, there's just way too many flucking "rules" these days.
Is this becoming an early FFFC? lol
Bumper after 7 months, blanket since birth, sleeps with bottle, ate salmon, doesnt take flouride vitamins, we have been out 11pm+, and he now sleeps with me in bed.
and I havent put lotion on him since he was 6 months old. JUDGE ME
I let him eat food that my SIL would kill me for since we have adopted some aspects of BLW... she is big into choking risks.
DS and the cat are besties... they used to sleep in the same room while I showered... in fact, I encourage DS to play with the cat.
I never flipped DS from his belly. In fact, if he isn't sleeping on his belly, something is wrong.
He gets to watch football games... mostly because DH would never turn them off.
And probably a million other stupid things...
He sleeps with a blanket, we have fed him table food from the beginning in random orders. The kid eats curry haha he's not picky. Didn't wait 3 days at all.
He is with our husky constantly and I will cook supper while they are together in the living room. Everyone else freaks out about this since the story of the husky killing the baby happened.
Ha! I've put lotion on DS exactly one time. I don't see a need for it.
We do BLW and didn't wait any time between foods, in fact he's never eat only a single item at a meal. Always a mix of foods, always what I'm eating.
I leave DS with the dogs and cat on occasion. Sometimes I leave them all alone while I run upstairs to grab something.
I still nurse DS to sleep.
I leave him with the dogs for a few minutes, i don't always Clean off his sippy when he drops it on the floor but i do check it for hair and dirt...man!
What else... He gets a bath every night, The dog licks his mouth all the time no matter what i do to stop him and he's has peanut butter..i feel like i could go on and on.....terrible !

Where to even start . . . I'll just skip right to the end. DS likes to chew on the dog's favorite chew toy, and I totally let him. Its important to learn about sharing.
Also DS generally eats lunch in the nude, its the only way I can get him clean in time to leave for work. Thankfully he refuses to eat warm food so its completely safe.
I figure all this stuff if okay because I totally put lotion on him once a month, maybe twice.
I love this whole reply.
I was totally kidding about the lotion! My mom totally jumps my case every time she gives him a bath and I tell her I dont use lotion.
Wow Ladies! You have me laughing so hard! Thank you
Well over here she sleeps with bumpers because arms and legs started hanging out and she kept pulling the mesh ones down. She also sleeps with a blanket and on her belly. We watch one episode of either Little Einstein's or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse a day, Ummm..... she plays with our dog (our 15 pound yorkie/maltese mix) and accidentally grabbed his hair once to the point where the DOG cried. Lesson learned after that one. Yeah... there's many more but those are the ones that come to mind first.....
PS We lotion her after every bath but a huge part of that is because I love the smell LOL
You ladies are hilarious!!!
We nurse to fall asleep and I used to put her car seat on the top of the shopping cart when we were at the store. (It never occured to me that it could tip over until a month ago! hey she's only 15 lbs... but I did stop doing that.)
of the year, since ya know, I lather LO up with lotion nightly.
I know it was just a joke, couldn't resist though. Tell your mom that your pedi said not to use lotion because babies have to learn to make their own natural skin moisture. I have no idea if there is any truth to this but I think my sister made it up about 6 years ago to get my mom to back off and my mom has spread it like the gospel. Their are a lot of dry babies on the East Coast! We've lived the lie for so long that when I walk by the baby lotion aisle I get a little teary for all those babies out there that will have a life of lotion dependancy. I imagine DS applying his scented lotion at the frat house in 20 years . . .
Hahaha ME TOO!!!
AND I lotion twice a day! :

Ive had enough of your bragging, Klasala!
We're such rebels! The sad thing is, they have to put those warnings on the formula containers because some dumb clucks out there DID microwave w/ the bottle lid on and it exploded and someone else DID microwave and didn't shake it or check for temp and burned their kid. I normally actually just microwave the water and mix it up, but if we mix up a days worth ahead of time, then yeah, I nuke the formula! radiation ftw!
I should lotion up both of my girls, as they have dry patches.. but I forget and the baby won't hold still anyways!
SCANDALOUS!
I pretty much have covered off all of these at one point or another. My big ones is that I let DD watch TV, she naps with a blankie and I don't wait in between new foods.
Hahaha oppps!
