Im venting.

Im getting really really sick of stupid advice from my family!

DD had her 9 month well check which went so well and she is doing great, but had weight loss since I brought her to the dr in March because of a cold. No one seemed alarmed and it was kind of expected from how bad her cold was. I updated my mom when she asked and then she got into with me how DD is underweight because I let her eat what we eat and feed herself and how babies need baby food to survive. It was such a stupid conversation I just said "ya" and "mhmmm" the whole time. Now she is making a stew which she will puree for DD so I can feed her stew through a bottle for the next few days.I cant wait to throw that out the second she leaves.

I just needed to get it off my chest! My family is very old fashioned and are very old school. I hear non stop how I spoil her because I carry or wear her too much and how she will be afraid of her room because I nap with her and let her fall asleep in my arms. And my favourite, I should let her cry once and a while so she gets used to not getting her way. UGH! Today I am at my nagging limit

My babysitter is annoyed that I have let my very sick baby sleep on me because he had trouble 1 day going to sleep in the PnP. Oh? Deal. 

You know what they say about opinions...

When my oldest was 8-14 months ish.. I would give in to her and rarely let her cry.  Now she's 3, and we're having to retrain her that no, crying doesn't get you what you want.  I can honestly say, we will not be making that mistake with Kara

I understand where you are coming from. My step mom thinks that every time DS whines it is because he is hungry. She sat for him one day since our sitter was on vacation and she over fed him soooo much, and not just one thing she over fed him formula,
