We both slept better. </p> <p>I never thought I'd use a stroller, I was so bent on babywearing. Go figure my kid hated anything that resembled a swaddle and screamed in the Ergo until he was big enough to sit up and look around in it, he hated be held close facing in. I also now own 3 strollers.. he LOVES riding in them! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-i-never-thought-i-would-do-this-as-a-parent-post#post-480326 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 10:12:31 +0000 Mrsbells 480326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Give my baby a pacifier and she is still using it at 8 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-i-never-thought-i-would-do-this-as-a-parent-post#post-480323 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 10:09:53 +0000 littlek 480323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy expensive baby clothes. I know they are just going to spit up and poop in it, but he looks so cute before he does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-i-never-thought-i-would-do-this-as-a-parent-post#post-480287 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 09:54:25 +0000 blackbird 480287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oooo i'm with you. i also wear orthotics and shoes are a biggie for me!</p> <p>I'm just trying to keep an open mind about stuff, but I feel very strongly about video games and electronics when we go out to eat as a family! We'll see, I guess :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-i-never-thought-i-would-do-this-as-a-parent-post#post-480126 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 07:57:08 +0000 heffalump 480126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I would buy my baby expensive shoes. I always said that they grow out of them so fast, it's silly to spend so much. And then LO's first pair of shoes were $40, and her second pair $26. I was thinking I'd spend more like $10!</p> <p>The first pair really caught me off guard because her feet were so big for her age and she was such a late walker, it was impossible to find something inexpensive with a soft sole so after lots of research we just had to bite the bullet and spend the money. And now I"m realizing that being a podiatrists daughter that shoes really are important to me, and even if she does just wear them for a short time I want them to be comfy and support her little feet well. I wear orthodic shoes only for that reason. </p> <p>What do you do as a parent that you never thought you would? </p>
