I could have punched her. I cried so many ugly tears trying to wake DD up when she was sleepy and not at all hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1143536 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:51:10 +0000 loveisstrange 1143536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best: Let yourself be important too. Being a mom doesn't mean you are no longer your own person. Take care of yourself. </p> <p>Worst: Breast is best. Those 3 unholy words caused me more pain and heartache than I can express. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1143532 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:50:48 +0000 Mrs. Tea 1143532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Our lc told me the same thing! I did it for a week and cursed her every single time! Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1143436 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:31:27 +0000 prettylizy 1143436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: the LC at our hospital told me to wake her every 2 hours.... That lasted a half day and I was over it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1142947 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:57:44 +0000 Bookish 1142947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best: Do what's best for you and your baby, not what's best for anyone else.<br /> Worst: Go ahead and let your 4-week old CIO. (that was from my dad, lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1142928 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:51:04 +0000 Bao 1142928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best advice: you are the parent do what you think is best<br /> Worst advice: don't even try breastfeeding it's too messy (what?), it hurts and it just isn't worth it. Actually nursing was one of the BEST decisions I ever made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1142920 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:46:03 +0000 MaisyMay 1142920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best Advice: Trust yourself. Be your baby's advocate.<br /> Worst Advice: Wake her up to eat. Nope, no way, no how! I'm not waking a sleeping baby, especially one who was a good eater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-and-worst-advice-youve-heard#post-1142372 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 06:15:00 +0000 prettylizy 1142372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best Advice: Trust your gut. In the early days with LO when I suspected MSPI and everyone told me she was colicky, I was right! She was so much happier after we cut dairy and soy. </p> <p>Worst Advice: I'm due 6 weeks before a potential international trip and was told to "Not bother breastfeeding, go straight to formula and leave the newborn behind so you can have fun on the trip". I couldn't be away from my 6 week old for that long!! NO WAY! </p>
