I did do a lot of research on sleep when things fell apart around 3.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342212 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:23:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 342212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>more go with the flow and only really research things i'm completely clueless on and can't figure out on my own lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342202 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:19:49 +0000 autumnlove 342202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I research some things but I mostly go with the flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342199 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:17:30 +0000 Minnie_Girl 342199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like researching things before I need them, and applying the information in a way that works for us. (Reading sleep books while still pregnant, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342196 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:15:39 +0000 MamaBehr 342196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go with the flow but I always have Super Nanny guiding me in the back of my head hahahaha. I actually research and read more with my second than I did with my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342177 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:04:24 +0000 LivsMama 342177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go with the flow. I figure people have been parenting forever without research and books, so I can prob just go with it. I kind of just do what feels natural and works for us. Funny thing is, I over-research everything else lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342121 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 07:05:13 +0000 chopsuey 342121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go with the flow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342110 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 06:18:59 +0000 heffalump 342110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I research because I like to know my options and make an educated decision, but then I always stick to my gut decision. Like with sleep I researched sleep training, but we didn't go that route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342082 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 02:11:59 +0000 808love 342082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I research like crazy...until I'm about to lose it... but at the end of the day...I still have to make the call since everyone says something different. I just realized my biggest go-to parenting tips I learned from my brother's experience....not text research. My husband usually just lets it flow and asks me what I researched so he can incorporate it in his repartoire. He still likes the research when it comes to trouble spots. He's just unwilling to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-research-parenting-or-do-you-go-with-the-flow-more#post-342079 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:56:22 +0000 mrbee 342079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it comes to parenting, I like to go with my gut and not overthink things. But when that fails (ha), I usually end up doing a ton of research.</p> <p>But I've learned the hard way not to talk too much about it. I have friends who look at me like crazy if I mention various books I've read on a subject. I start to feel bad, like I've overthought something that should come naturally. Maybe I have? I don't know any more.</p> <p>Do you research parenting, or do you go with the flow more? </p>
