Unwanted Advice

When you have a child; you WILL get advice....LOTS of it! Some of it you will like and use some of it you will NOT! One thing that absolutely drives me INSANE is to receive advice that is SHOVED down my throat! For example: That I am a weirdo for buying Taylor a hippie teething anklet, why can't I be like a regular Mother and give her some Tylenol! I don't want to give my child drugs that she doesn't need! Why do you hold her so much? She should be independent! You shouldn't wear her in that thing...she can fall out don't you care about your baby? You should make her do tummy time even if she screams! Crying is good for her! I being the Mommy bought her an anklet because I don't want to drug her up regardless if it is just some Tylenol, it can damage her little liver. I hold her because I love her and I want to be close to her. She is SAFE in her wrap she is more safe up against me then in a stroller or car seat! Tummy time is only beneficial if the baby isn't burying their face down trying to commit baby suicide, if she is miserable then she is not going to stay there! Crying may be okay sometimes; but when she is sobbing to the point she is loosing her breath and taking down air that gives her gas and makes it worse SHE WILL NOT CRY IF I CAN PREVENT IT! Your not her Mommy stop trying to be! I love the way I raise my daughter because it is MY choice! I understand that people give you advice with their best intentions MOST of the time; but don't question my parenting...consider your thoughts before you judge! Because this Mommy Bear is starting to bite back.....HARD!
