Yeah. Luckily there's at least always one person on my side who is doing it the same way. But yeah, if I listened to the people who think I'm doing stuff weird I would be feeding my kid stuff like ice cream, forward facing him in the car, not cloth diapering or making his baby food (I would be spending a LOT more money!), he wouldn't have a bedtime or be STTN, etc. He's 8 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363042 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:28:11 +0000 Boheme 1363042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Co-sleeping, cloth diapering, unmedicated birth, baby led weaning, Montessori style nursery... Yep. People think we're weird. </p> <p>I just own it. I know we're weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363036 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:22:25 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1363036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! lots of stuff...cloth diapers, BLW, early potty training, extended rear facing, extended BF, no processed food etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363029 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:15:44 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1363029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just strange. It's no big secret. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363022 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:13:37 +0000 JennyD 1363022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: huh, interesting. Our daycare put our girl in a cot at 14 months, so we followed suit at home. She has pretty much always stayed put. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363012 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:05:45 +0000 MamaG 1363012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: my LO hoisted her leg atop the crib once. She was so shocked when I caught her in the act that she never tried again. We moved her to a toddler bed at 28 months mostly because I was tired of lifting her in and out. Nearly one month later and she doesn't wander from her bed without permission. </p> <p>We get the most surprise about not offering juice as a drink option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363009 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:02:55 +0000 autumnlove 1363009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: not yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1363007 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 23:00:51 +0000 Arden 1363007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh practically everything. Cloth diapering, extended breadtfeeding, blw, no screen time, no junk food, no ear piercing, cosleeping, no strict schedule, babywearing, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1362967 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 22:17:48 +0000 JennyD 1362967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are so many people keeping toddlers in cribs? Don't they climb out?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361536 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:40:14 +0000 Andrea 1361536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No TV/iPad for my 3 year old.

I haven't been boasting about how we've ditched his crib this month &amp; gave him a floor bed at 16 months, but I bet I'd get some "Oh. Interesting." faces :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361472 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:20:51 +0000 Greentea 1361472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At Christmas I think people thought we were wacky for giving the baby whole foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361467 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:18:30 +0000 tinyperson 1361467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rear-facing as long as possible, not wearing a big coat in the car seat. Pretty much anything car seat safety-related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361422 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:03:44 +0000 cascademom 1361422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa, the things you mentioned sound normal at least within my family. My niece still sleeps in a crib at 2+ years old. Our LO really doesn't get treats or candy. The most sugar he's had is icing. Otherwise, an occasional cookie is the most he gets. My toddler's almost 17 months old and still in a crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361416 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:03:03 +0000 Sammyfab 1361416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure people thought I was super weird (or probably just anal) for being so strict about LO's sleep for the first year. I've become more lax now but we still prefer to stick as close to our schedule as possible.</p> <p>Nobody thinks it's weird that he is such an independent sleeper ...they think it's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361414 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:02:39 +0000 littlebug 1361414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, many people in Hubs' family think it's completely weird (and stupid) that D hasn't had sweets yet at a year.</p> <p>ETA: Oh, and cloth diapers. Yeah, we got told about that a LOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361413 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:02:35 +0000 blackbird 1361413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cloth diapers, extended rear facing, minimal processed foods. The horror, I tell you. The horror. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361401 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 12:01:00 +0000 autumnlove 1361401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth diapers, rear facing past 1, crib at 2 and a few more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361390 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 11:58:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 1361390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Several can't believe we put our almost 16 month old to sleep when she's awake and not rock her to sleep. (been doing this for 10 months.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-friends-ever-think-you-do-weird-things#post-1361379 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 11:56:37 +0000 mrsjyw 1361379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on keeping DS in the crib for as long as he tolerates it! :) He's 14 months and probably doubt he'll want to climb out anytime in the next year! We have a friend that thinks it's weird fo a toddler to be in a crib at 2!</p> <p>We also have family that thinks it's crazy DS hasn't had sweets yet. And that he puts himself to sleep. </p>
