But he trusts my research, so he knows I wouldn't make a decision based solely on HB, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651622 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:58:18 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1651622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. I've never began anything with "HB said: xyz..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651612 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:56:09 +0000 .twist. 1651612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: ah yes. I definitely did that too. Hahaha I'm a rule breaker! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651609 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:55:34 +0000 Alivoo01 1651609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: (O_O) Weird.... but okay! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651600 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:54:22 +0000 illumina 1651600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Dh came in and sat down and I told him about the water. He said "that's good to know". I referred to you as the one who gave cow's milk before one because I've mentioned that to him before (we were talking about doing the same thing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651581 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:49:46 +0000 snowjewelz 1651581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know! I do tell him all the time that "well, the consensus on HB is..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651553 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:41:34 +0000 .twist. 1651553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: seriously. Crazy doc. He also gave me shit for not going to the children's hospital the first time. Even though it was 2am. And across the f'ing city! Haha I kinda thought emerg is emerg no matter which hospital. He thought different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651540 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:38:48 +0000 Alivoo01 1651540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!! When I have a questions about something, his initial response is "ask that mommy forum you're always on". haha</p> <p>@.twist.: DS always has water during meals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651535 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:37:38 +0000 .twist. 1651535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: hahaha I do that to my husband as well! The ped at the hospital was pretty adamant that it wasn't necessary before one. But I swear I read on HB that it was good to introduce it so they get a feel for something other than milk that is not juice. Ya know? Plus, my kid doesn't drink a LOT of milk and that worries me with hydration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651523 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:35:53 +0000 MamaMoose 1651523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For experience type stuff, but certainly not for medical/health issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651521 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:35:12 +0000 Meltini 1651521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on what it is. If I say the consensus on HB is babies like to face out in carriers, he would listen. If I say the consensus on HB is that D has bird flu, he would roll his eyes and say we need to go see a real doctor :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651511 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:31:16 +0000 illumina 1651511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I didn't realise that! I was getting nervous that we weren't giving LO enough water because she only sips with meals and that we were relying too much on formula to hydrate her! Guess I shouldn't worry now...Dh and I have talked about this on a few occasions and later I'll be like "Twist says we don't need to worry about giving water..." lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651505 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:29:41 +0000 autumnlove 1651505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651500 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:27:14 +0000 BSB 1651500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. DH thinks it might be a bit biased because its mostly all women on here.</p> <p>When it comes to gender-less topics, it can be kinda accurate. </p> <p>Oh, I believe these sites (I think there was a poll) are more liberal than conservative, so that can also make things biased. It's helps me because I'm more liberal than my conservative leaning DH. ;) I don't think he knows that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651491 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:24:05 +0000 .twist. 1651491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: ha no! I just mentioned that while he's been sick I've been giving him water, milk, pedialyte... He stared at me and was like "water? Why are you giving him water? No water before one. You might as well just give him something with electrolytes. It's much more simple if there no water before one" </p> <p>For the record..... My kid still drinks water.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651489 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:23:45 +0000 ShootingStar 1651489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He totally trusts HB. If we're discussing something and have a question he'll be like "Did you ask the bees? Why don't you start a thread?" LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651477 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:20:05 +0000 cascademom 1651477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With some things, yes and others no. I tend to ignore the FB hysterical posts that make their way here because it tends to breed unnecessary anxiety and fear.</p> <p>ETA: DH is the same way. He's a researcher like me. He'd go with proven information instead of forum discussion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651474 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:19:21 +0000 pui 1651474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so lol. I mean it might depend on the subject, but in general I doubt he'd see HB as a good place to get information. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651470 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:16:22 +0000 Adira 1651470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes!! Sometimes I'll say something like "Well @Smurfette's baby does the same thing" and then he'll be all "Okay, so it's normal." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651462 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:13:09 +0000 illumina 1651462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: what? Your doc doesn't recommend giving any water before one? Did you actually tell him that HB said it was ok? I can't imagine our doctors face if I told him I was relying on a forum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651454 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:11:08 +0000 .twist. 1651454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We love the bee. I did recently get scolded by a doctor for doing something that everyone on the bee said was the norm. Hahaha (drinking water before one). *shrugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651429 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:07:38 +0000 Espion 1651429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There might've been an occasion or two when he was like, "You should totally post XYZ." Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651402 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:00:48 +0000 illumina 1651402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: hahaha! I often refer to HB babies that are a similar age to LO and I'll be like "Elizabeth is doing X" or "Thomas does X too" and I think he thinks I'm talking about babies I know IRL...it's like IG, he assumes they are all babies I know IRL because why on Earth would I want to see photos of babies I don't know ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651385 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:56:48 +0000 swurlygurl 1651385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. I try to just not talk about it, because he thinks the internet is a weird place anyway. I met up with @babyjmama: once and he definitely thought L and I were going to be kidnapped, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651359 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:49:32 +0000 Bao 1651359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he does, he often says "ask HB" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651354 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:47:36 +0000 Smurfette 1651354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! When talking about something we can't figure, he says well did you ask the bee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651353 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:47:04 +0000 doodlepoodle 1651353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He asks if a picture is one of the 'honey bees' or if we have a question about j he'll ask if I've consulted with my 'honey bee girls' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651350 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:45:56 +0000 avivoca 1651350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He kind of makes fun of me about it, but whatever. What mama says goes when it comes to the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651346 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:43:27 +0000 tinyperson 1651346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It factors in, but I wouldn't say he'd rely solely on HB advice/opinions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-partner-trust-hb-as-a-source-of-info#post-1651331 Thu, 22 May 2014 09:38:52 +0000 Arden 1651331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much. I mean if it's important than someone will have usually posted a study or something like that. He knows that I check stuff out, so he takes my word for it. </p>
