So the doctor's visit today brought up and interesting thought for me... following "the rules." I have had this conversation with several friends lately. When it comes to babies do you do what the doctors and the books tell you or do you do your own thing. I have always considered myself a rule follower but I have found as a parent I am not. I sort of do my own thing. Like today the doctor said not to give Kate table foods until she was 9 months old. Well we have already been giving her some really soft table foods and will continue to. Is it bad that I don't follow "the rules"? Are you a rule follower? Do I care that I don't follow all the rules out there? Deep thoughts for a Wednesday night!
Here is Kate eating her table food at 6 months as I totally break the rules!
Oh - I just have to share. Matt showed me the funniest blog today. http://stuffchristianslike.net/
We have been laughing all night at so many of the posts. You have to check it out!
Rules were meant to be broken I say! :) no seriously, God gave YOU the title "Mommy" to your particular two kids, and He will give you all the wisdom and insight you need to raise them right. Trust your God-given instincts!!
ReplyDeleteI totally don't follow parenting rules.... The list is long and sorted as to all of the rules we've broken as parents. Just look what a horrible child BB has become because of it. ;-). It also really depends on the doctor you have or the book you're reading. There's some horrible advice (rules) out there!!!!
ReplyDeleteI follow no "rules" here. LOL I made my own baby food with Eli so he had table food when he started eating solids. :)
