Got my first bit of unwanted advice!

I honestly can't believe it took this long. Clearly, I ought to give my MIL more credit, because this came from a good friend. I feel like telling him to shove it and that I'm not prepared to let my six week old CIO (I'm not sure I'm ever prepared for it, honestly), but I know he means well. Why does every parent think that what works for them is the only way to do things? Every baby and every family is different.

Re: Got my first bit of unwanted advice!

  • MIL tried lecturing me yesterday because Aiden is still in the bassinet in our room. She said we need to move him to his crib because if we don't he won't ever leave our room. I flat out said no. We had tried transitioning a couple of weeks ago and I just wasn't ready. Crazy people and their advice.

    These are the kinds of threats I love! What, he's going to be sleeping in your room when he's twelve? Jeez.

  • My great grandma (who has yet to meet Bear because she is in California and I am in Kansas) told me that Bear wasn't getting enough to eat because I was EBF. She also told me to start him on real food (he was 2 weeks old at the time).

    Now that is a real gem.
