When I asked her not to, she said, "It will help her sleep at night." Uh. hello, LO was 6 weeks old at the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/absolute-best-and-absolute-worst-parenting-advice#post-5070 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 22:50:38 +0000 Killer b 5070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best: Mylecon drops. These saved my life the first few weeks.<br /> Worst: Nothing yet on the advice front, but I've had some horrible comments/questions. Like the furniture salesman asking me if my daughter was planned. Um, how is that your business?! Or the neighbor asking me when that baby was getting here three days AFTER delivery when I was just starting to feel somewhat normal again. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/absolute-best-and-absolute-worst-parenting-advice#post-3681 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:41:03 +0000 bakingAbug 3681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part I've ignored everyone. Aside from the "Do what is best for your child and family" and "Remember every child is different so what works for one may not work for the other" I have pretty much just let the info go in one ear and out the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/absolute-best-and-absolute-worst-parenting-advice#post-3680 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:40:13 +0000 mrbee 3680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best advice: don't buy too much stuff for your newborn. Other people will buy stuff and/or gift it to you. Plus newborns grow so quickly that it's not really worth it to spend too much on their clothes!</p> <p>Worse advice: Most advice I've heard has been pretty solid! I don't really talk shop with other parents though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/absolute-best-and-absolute-worst-parenting-advice#post-3669 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:31:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 3669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best :<br /> #1 - Do what you feel is right, you know your baby best.</p> <p>Worst :<br /> People giving me unsolicited advice on how to raise my child. but thats an on-going thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/absolute-best-and-absolute-worst-parenting-advice#post-3475 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:10:27 +0000 Shutterbug 3475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like everyone loves to give advice to new or soon-to-be moms, whether they want it or not :)</p> <p>What's the #1 best piece of advice anyone has ever given you about parenting? How about the worst? </p>
