Flame away but I really don't understand home births. They seem like a selfish way to put the lives of you and your baby at risk.

My SIL had a very low risk pregnancy and chose a home birth. The baby ended up being too big and his shoulders got stuck. His head was out for a few minutes and he almost died. They had to call an ambulance and break his bones to get him out.

Do I think it was worth it to have the baby at home? No way!! I was also a very low risk pregnancy but during labor we had a lot of scares with my LO heart rate and I had to be put on oxygen. I thank God I had so many trained medical professionals around me.

You can still have a midwife/doula/med free birth in a hospital so why not?

So I have a bit of an issue with the unsafe label being attached to home births. There are many countries in the world with lower infant mortality rates than the US, where home births are the norm. The two most cited examples are the Netherlands and Japan.

I think debating politics is all but pointless. Neither side is going to convert the other and VERY often it just turns nasty. I don't get why people bother.
My great grandfather debated politics with his father via hand written letters. We still have some of them. It's amazing to read these well thought out arguments, and the respectful responses. We've lost so much of that in US politics and social media.
Unfortunately, IMO "well thought out arguments" have gone the way of hand written letters. It's a shame.

Of course there are some who can respectfully discuss the topic, but it's the exception rather than the rule to find one.

I agree completely! I didn't mean my response as contradictory to what you were saying. I think it's sad that as a society, we can't discuss and learn, we just preach and grandstand. (With a few exceptions of course.)

I actually have one this week. Here goes: should I ever have another baby, I will make sure I deliver at a hospital that allows babies to sleep in a nursery. I understand that rooming in with baby is the best, and super duper wonderful for everyone, but I damned near lost my mind, and thinking about it still causes me anxiety. I delivered at this wonderful hospital that didn't have your traditional nursery because they believe babies should room in with their mothers. I do too, I do.

However

I already hadn't slept in 48 hours when I got to the hospital. My C-section ended up being at 5am. I was so sleep deprived I was delirious, and forgetting things like my social, phone number, etc. Add being in the hospital for 4 more days, getting maybe 20 minutes of sleep here and there, and I was a legit nutbag. I'm sure I'm just a big pansy, but I feel like I was in no way able to enjoy any of the birth experience.

So yeah. Throw my baby in a nursery with all the other crying babies. Mother of the year over here.

YES!! Our situation was basically the same (no C-Section, but in labor and without sleep for 30 hours) and my biggest regret is not sending her to the nursery because they pushed rooming in on us so much. I felt guilty even thinking that I wanted her in another room. But starting out at a sleep deficit is not helpful to mom or baby (or dad, either!)

Ill get on the bus for this UO.... the hospital I was at guilt tripped me into keeping him in my room for the second night (after the first I was all for the nursery and getting some much needed sleep), I had been awake for 32 hours straight in labor at home before I was actually admitted to the hospital, delivered after being awake for 42 hours and got no sleep the first night at the hospital... I was a little "off" to say the least.

I think it's nasty to give a baby a pacifier back after it fell on the floor. Even nastier, the 'mom wash' of sticking it in mom's mouth first.

If someone isn't willing to get down on their hands and knees and lick the floor, then they better not tell me I don't need to wash the pacifier.

I do this (hides head in shame) not out in public but at home.

fancefpp · October 2013

I have another - I think making your own baby food is a waste of time. I thought I was going to be all MOTY and make DS1 organic baby food. He wouldn't touch the stuff but loved jarred food. I tried everything to get him to like mine but he hated it. Now he won't even touch a vegetable....oh well.

Why? Is it because you're stuck behind them, waiting?

Yes, I need an explanation of this! I don't get it?

Where I live, it's illegal to drive into your driveway in neighborhoods. It's safer to drive out so you don't back out and hit a child or something. (I know that's what mirrors are for, I didn't make the rules lol)

Totally an honest question, no snark intended... But wouldn't you be just as likely to run something or someone over while you're backing IN to your driveway as when you're backing OUT?

I don't sleep train my child and I won't. Not judging those who do, but for me, it just isn't right. My son often falls asleep while nursing. He also wakes up when I put him in his crib, and falls back asleep. At night, he will go back to sleep on his own... (or most nights) - but he is right next to my bed in case he doesn't. He doesn't manipulate me to be held... He's 4 months old. He doesn't know what that is. What he knows is that he's scared/wet/tired etc and mama or daddy can comfort him. We support his learning and development, but by doing it with him - not leaving him to do it himself.

I guess this is my UO since everyone seems to agree, which I do agree with ALMOST everything you said...BUT If my DD would fall asleep nursing, or fall asleep on her own I wouldn't have any reason to even think about sleep training either.
Before I had her I was totally against any type of CIO as well...but now that I spend a few hours every night trying to soother her while she screams, I'm trying to find a way to help her. I know she is fed and clean, and really believe she is crying because she is tired and wants to go to sleep but doesn't know how (she never took a pacifier or liked to be swaddled, and won't nurse to sleep anymore)
Back in the day of my parents, they would just put the baby in the crib and let them scream and cry until they eventually got so exhausted they eventually passed out. It's true they didn't need any of these "new age" methods. But I don't agree with what they did so I'm trying to find a method that is more gentle...whether it's trendy or not.

I always back into my spot at work. I get to work when there are hardly any cars. And it makes it much easier to just pull out when I am leaving.

At a store parking lot I will park further away to get a "pull through" spot.

watuzzigal · October 2013

Maybe this goes along with the CIO debate going on, but it's not only that--and it's not meant to be a judgement, and I am sorry it's going to sound like one: I don't believe you can definitely know that your baby's environment is controlled enough for that to be the reason anyone needs to let your baby CIO. S/he may not be hungry, wet, or (insert other variable), but her/his intestines could be in overdrive trying to work through something we/she/he drank or ate, s/he could have a headache or some other hurt s/he can't communicate to us, s/he made need comfort/loving/etc., or....

I mean, when I'm too hot, I can't sleep, and I get completely frustrated. If I'm not tired enough or overly tired, sometimes I can't sleep. When I've had an overwhelming day/week/month/year, I cry. When I can't figure out what to tell my partner/friends/family about how I'm feeling, I cry (maybe by myself, but I do). The list could go on. Some of us read, watch TV, run, eat, need to be held, etc., so why wouldn't I expect that from my baby (later, my child)?

Really, if you want to sleep train, go for it. I have friends who swear by it. My opinion though is WE can't know our baby doesn't need SOMETHING (even if it's some space) besides food, diaper change, and sleep.

Edit first paragraph for clarity: I really wanted to make sure my UO was about reasons and not someone's decision.

I know...I don't really get it either. I drive in and my H told me it was the law and I didn't believe him until I looked it up online. (FTR I still don't back in, but haven't gotten a ticket yet lol)

I guess a kid would be more likely to be playing on the street than in your driveway? Unless of course it's your own kids then they would be more likely to be IN your driveway... I really have no idea!

I knew someone would question it because it's so weird so I purposely put "I didn't make the rules" haha

Ohhh man - I totally think I'm getting flamed for this but here goes nothing...

I'd think so @jayro10

honestly - I only have a couple reasons why this irritates me so much but they aren't great reasons. It's just my opinion.
It takes much more time to back into a spot in a full parking lot than it would to just pull in like EVERY other person there. They hold up the show and it's like they are happy to have people stare at them and their car. Am I supposed to be jealous that you are such a risk taker? Jealous of your "cool" car? Or am I just supposed to be envious of your bad ass demeanor? Also don't use the excuse or joke "so I can make a quicker escape" - from wal-mart?? I just view it as a "I'm better than you". And I don't think everyone does it as a safety precaution in their driveway either. for example my brother does this at his house and he has 2 kids, it's just as dangerous backing in BUT he also has a rear view camera so it's not like they a high risk of getting hit either way. Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone but it seems to apply to most people I see do it!

No flaming from me! I was just really curious because I didn't know it annoyed people. I guess I just never thought about it, but I also don't drive much. I always drive in to parking spaces, and my driveway (even though I'm not supposed to). Again, it's not my opinion...just a law in my weird little Canadian town haha

My UO?
Thus far, I really dislike cloth diapering, Maybe if I had invested a couple hundred dollars into name brand cloth diapers, it would be better, but we started with pre folds and plastic pants which turned her poor lower half into a damp urine sauna, so I made PUL covers and she leaks through them so fast! I am so tempted to just stick with disposables at this point instead of continuing on the CD path.

PUL is a tricky fabric. Maybe buy some name brand covers before giving up? My PUL covers pretty much never leak.

Guess where my car is parked right now... In angled back-in-only street parking on a two-way street near my office. It's a PITA to get into when there's a lot of traffic because you have to block traffic in both directions to get in on the first swing. Or just go back and forth forever like the little Austin Powers golf cart.

I have no intentions of quitting co sleeping anytime soon. I do cringe and brave myself when people ask me how she sleeps and where. I kinda lie a little and say she starts in her crib but when she wakes I bring her to bed. Truth is she sleeps fine in her crib I just can't bare her being in another room.

There are about 2-3 babies in HC's DC class that are on strict feeding schedules. These babies are really young. One is even like 10 weeks. He gets only 3 oz of a breastmilk/formula mix every 3 hours! My son is 5 months old and is just now starting to eat every 3-4 hours. Anytime I'm there to feed or pick up HC, if that baby isn't sleeping, he's screaming bloody murder because he's starving. One of the DC ladies actually got fussed at by the mom for feeding him more one day because he could not be calmed down. It's ridiculous! I was just there a minute ago and she was giving one of the other babies her bottle and she's limited to 3 oz. When she was done with her bottle she starts crying so hard because she's still hungry! They are so freaking skinny! Feed those damn babies!!

Rant over.

That's disgraceful. DC should refuse to stick to it if the babies are clearly hungry.

Anytime I'm there to feed or pick up HC, if that baby isn't sleeping, he's screaming bloody murder because he's starving. One of the DC ladies actually got fussed at by the mom for feeding him more one day because he could not be calmed down. It's ridiculous! I was just there a minute ago and she was giving one of the other babies her bottle and she's limited to 3 oz. When she was done with her bottle she starts crying so hard because she's still hungry! They are so freaking skinny! Feed those damn babies!!

Rant over.

That just makes me sad. I have no words for how much I'd want to pick each and every one of those kiddos up and kick their parents for thinking it's a good idea to limit what their kids intake.
