I've been asked about pregnancy, napping/sleep, clothes, registry advice. I definitely don't pretend to know it all. I just say this is what worked for us, or didn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098251 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:14:33 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1098251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes...but it's posed as more, "What did you do for this?" We bounce ideas off of each other when asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098244 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:13:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1098244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My closest friends are very accepting of helpful information. I always make sure to let them know that if they don't want my advice to tell me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098229 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:10:43 +0000 turkeylurkey 1098229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girlfriend was my advice giver for delivery and the first couple of months. But now that the boys are older we tend to give and take. We mostly are needing a sounding board about the support we do/don't get from the hubbies. I did have a pregnant friend ask me a few questions the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098192 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:03:30 +0000 Adira 1098192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who's having a baby in November and him and his wife have already asked me a TON of questions from breastfeeding, pumping, FMLA, diapers, childbirth, etc. I love sharing my experience so I'm thrilled when I'm asked for advice! I try to only give advice when asked and not be too know-it-all-y about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098141 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:56:20 +0000 banana 1098141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. But most of the advice I give out is regarding baby products. And only if they ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098135 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:55:06 +0000 Boheme 1098135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the youngest LO in my group of friends. I have a pregnant friend but I only give her tips or advice if she asks specifically! All the unsolicited advice I got while I was pregnant made me crazy so I'm very careful not to do the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098115 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:52:35 +0000 Bao 1098115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. There is one friend in particular that actually tries to give me advice and I accept it kindly but we have different views on things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-your-parent-friends-ever-asked-you-for-advice-or-tips#post-1098099 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:49:10 +0000 autumnlove 1098099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've given advice and tips about pumping and managing GD...but only when I was asked! </p>
