Attachment Parenting

speaking of the tri boards....

Every time I read on there, I have an immediate urge to post the following PSA

"For all of you ladies on here complaining about how "bored" you are waiting on your baby, ect, ect, Here is a suggestion: READ some books about baby care and the realistic facts about the first few weeks/month, breastfeeding, normal sleep habits, ect"

If people actually did this, I bet 0-3 wouldn't be close to what it is.

  • Well, I read and read...then read some more (which often contradicted each other).  I met with friends, family and professionals to get the real scoop (who often contradicted each other).  I took class after class (which definitely contradicted each other).  I thought I was prepared.  Reality is very different that what we learn in theory and the journeys of others.

    While I do agree with this, there are some pretty basic ?'s on 0-3 that could be answered by just reading a book. Or googling, for that matter.

    I agree.  Sometimes I wonder where common sense & logic have gone.  Oh, and *patience* too.

  • LOL - indeed!  It scares me how little some mamas educate themselves about everything - the birth process, infant care, breastfeeding...

    Good for you for controlling that urge.  Nothing wrong with the thought.  Just no need to state it or gossip about it

    I agree!

    With a colicky reflux baby it was good to hear what other moms had success with. I really don't think the boards are that bad.
