I went in all proud and impressed that she hadn't had any formula, any food, heck not even tylenol up until that point and was pretty much shot down with "Well, you really could be feeding her" Which was made to sound much more like "you SHOULD" be feeding her. <br /><br />I know babies develop at different paces but hasn't all the new research (and even older) shown that the the tummy is just not fully prepared to deal with solids until at least 4-6 months? Maybe some are ready at 4, but I would lean more toward the 6. <br /><br />Isn't breastmilk the best food for babies? She should be getting her nutrients from it still. Not some crazy jar of processed nonsense. <br />IMHO that is. <br /><br />Oh well. We'll let her play with some homemade purees in the next few weeks. After she's five months. But not seriously until six months I think. And then I think I'll learn her eating habits more toward the baby led weaning. <br /><br />That's my plan and goal.Fairy Tales Doula and Education Services https://www.blogger.com/profile/17760903900865374571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705214147647811773.post-22134007462096716902010-06-18T11:16:35.810-07:002010-06-18T11:16:35.810-07:00it's the toughest job for many reasons, not le...it's the toughest job for many reasons, not least 'experts' telling us what THEY think it best. wants her eating regular meals, ooh that boils my blood. it's up to YOU and your BABY when and how often she eats. <br /><br />we've chosen not to vaccinate until 5 yrs of age, and then only for malicious diseases rather than the normal childhood ones. i have nice easy info on my blog about it, from the top menu. if you feel inclined.<br /><br />nice to meet you :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705214147647811773.post-85566258464848766772010-06-18T06:39:23.180-07:002010-06-18T06:39:23.180-07:00Darling we all do what we think is best and what w...Darling we all do what we think is best and what we know to do and there is really not much more we can do. <br />We have to follow our instincts and try to do what's right. The rest of it, well, that's what they'll have to talk about in therapy later I guess, haha (j/k)<br /><br />I was about the same with my first and just chugged along full of steam from doctors and mothers and grandmothers and who ever else decided to tell me what was best. <br /><br />I still did a lot of things my own way, and looking back I realize I was a 'crunchy' mom even then without even knowing it. <br /><br />I just have more tools and resources this time around.

But I was 18 & scared to death lol. I figured they knew way better than I did. I know now that is definitely NOT the case. Of course, I didn't have the internet back in those days either. Information sharing & social networking rule! I often say I'm lucky that I haven't killed her by now, lol! But she's 14 and seems to be doing pretty good, so I guess I didn't screw up too badly ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
