@beverend I found one thing that really helped was having a SUPER CUTE modern diaper, so they can see, touch, and feel how much better they are. Other than that, just stick to your guns. "It's something we're interested in, and are going to try." "We are interested in both the environmental and...

@jerryklasic I disagree with the no newborn clothes rule, let me explain why. I had heard this advice, and after being told that I was having a big baby, barely had any. She was a decent sized baby, 8lbs 4oz, but she was swimming in the 0-3 stuff. I had a hard birth so we made do, but she would...

@boby777 YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. You did NOTHING wrong, this is not your fault AT ALL. Some women push babies out in a couple minutes, the fact you made ZERO progress in TWO HOURS shows that this was NOT a failure or lack of strength on your part. You did NOTHING wrong. You actually did...

@lilithdom WOW you got some doozies! I got 1 & 2, and a LOT of toddler horror stores ("OH you think babies are hard, just wait until they are toddlers/teenagers/ect.")

@jerryklasic Haha this reminds me about how my mom would laugh at me when I talked about how I didn't get my baby dressed. Now that I'm on my second kid, he spent nearly his whole life so far (11 months) wearing sleepers. Didn't matter where we went, just so much easier, and he's a baby! Now...

@marystokesq I find the best thing to do with people like this is to do the "well ACTUALLY, it's NOT recommended for them to wear shoes inside, it's BETTER for foot development. I can send you some articles if you'd like." I find that shuts it down REAL quick. Also as a Canadian, I find the...
