Things grandma says

My LO's great grandma told me his diaper was wet because he had the hiccups. I checked and she was right! Could have been a coincidence... Anyone else hear weird things from grandma?

    My DH's grandma says that if a baby looks in a mirror they will take longer to talk and if you let them try to stand early they will walk late - no clue why though!

    Mine told me to let baby "exercise her lungs" (cry) every day, and that nursing "takes a lot out of you."  

    Thank god she's too old to babysit!

    My MIL told my DH and I that old yarn about having to keep our cat away from LO so he doesn't steal the baby's breath

    Every time LO cries, either LO's grandparents or great grandparents always says, "Oh Mommy's pinching you again!" Even if I am not holding her, it is still always me pinching her.

    @Ckorines I hope your daughter is ok!
    And I hope your milk didn't spoil!

    Thank you! she is fine, it happened in August. The doctors say kids can take a fall a lot better than an adult. And my milk is still good...(I think.) my chubby bunny seems to enjoy it still.

    When I'm nursIng and my baby stops eating and coughs my mom will say "it's got a bone in it"
    Every time.
    Huh?
    You know that isn't as funny as you think it is. Please stop saying it.
    And PS: it wasn't funny 4 years ago when you did it with the first kid.

    My older daughter fell down a flight of wood stairs and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. I was sobbing and my grandmother said, "calm down. She will be fine. When you cry, it spoils your milk."

    She also loves my chubby baby (3 months and 15 lbs.) and says, "she is fat. This is good." .....every....time.....she sees her. (In broken English - With her heavy Greek accent.)

    I've got a chubbers too! She was 14 lbs at 10 1/2 weeks..love chubby little babes

    My husbands family is Italian and everything revolves around food! The second my baby cries they all always say oh she's hungry mommy has to feed you! It's so annoying and I've delt with it with all 3 of my kids. Like babies cry for tons of other reasons besides being hungry. I honestly feel like saying. Maybe your smothering her and she just wants her mommy!

    My husband's family is Middle Eastern and it's the same thing. Every time we're at MIL's house, she's always trying to feed us. So every time LO cries, he must be hungry.

    My husbands grandma told me to put ice cream on my finger and let him eat it. Cows milk before a year old? Maybe but I'm not that brave. Also my husbands mother no matter what- if he is crying for a couple of minutes she says "oh yeah the colic isn't fun." Seriously ?

    Ughhhh! I hate when my LO is crying for more than 30 seconds (usually bc she's overstimulated from everyone) and all of sudden everyone assumes she's getting sick. Then I'm being told to check her temperature! Ummmm, no!!! If anything, she's getting sick of playing with everyone! Lol

    My cousin taught me a trick her MIL taught her. When your baby has hiccups, tie a red string around his dominant wrist. Since all the boys in my family are lefties, we tied it around his left wrist and it totally works!

    My MIL told me to cover the car seat with a heavy blanket before carrying LO to the car b/c it was chilly and windy outside (perfectly understandable) but she said "To keep her from getting air in her belly"

    Any time my baby fusses my in laws all insist she must be constipated followed up by "which is weird since she's breastfed" and then go running for essential oils for me to rub on her belly even though A. She isn't constipated and B. I have told them a million times I don't and won't use essential oils, especially on a baby. Drives me nuts.
