Broken Rules

From what I read, see on tv, and hear from other moms, I sure do break a lot of rules!

  1. Never swaddled my babies
  2. Always put them down fully asleep, never drowsy
  3. Love to let them nurse all night long
  4. Let my babies sleep right next to me in hopes of more shut eye for all
  5. Never introduced a lovey/blankey
  6. Didn't wait three days before introducing new foods when starting solids. Just did whatever because, well why not?
  7. Alternative vaccination schedule for us!
  8. My kids have never seen a pediatrician - only a family doctor in this house
  9. Cry it out? No way!
  10. 30 minutes of tv a day? Hmmmm, sometimes more like 2-3 movies for B-man on the weekends...
  11. Not much into giving my toddler a sippy cup, but somehow still indulge him with a bottle of milk before bed every night.....
  12. Haven't started brushing lil C's two teeth yet....and b-man only brushes once a day (sometimes two...)
And I am sure there are more...oh well.

Oh well is right! You have happy healthy kiddos and that's what matters! Well, healthy after a rough 5 weeks :) If all of us moms went by the "book" we wouldn't be learning anything or teaching our children anything really! Love you guys!

Those aren't rules. I call them suggestions. LOL! :)
