I've never read any parenting books. Most advice I get is from real life mom friends or HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926669 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 23:46:28 +0000 Mrs. D 1926669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk a lot with other moms, both in person, on Facebook, and anonymously in forums like Hellobee. I have flipped through and used the index in my what to expect series for several answers as well. And when we lived at home, I asked our family doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926645 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 22:13:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1926645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk to seasoned mom's, read books, blogs, and seek out articles on the internet, but most of all i trust my gut, and go through a lot of trial and error. Nobody knows my kids like I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926630 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:46:14 +0000 Andrea 1926630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've mostly just gone with my gut. I know my kids and what works with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926628 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:43:03 +0000 catomd00 1926628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just go with what feels right, follow my instinct an let DD lead. I ask my sister for advice. I'm into AP and gentle parenting but most people I know aren't so I'm kind of out there on my own. So far it's working for us though. If it doesn't I'll try something new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926380 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 17:05:46 +0000 looch 1926380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask seasoned moms, the ones that have grown children for long term things and then I have a group of friends with kids around the same age as mine, so I naturally observe and ask questions of them.</p> <p>Other than sleep books, I haven't read a single parenting book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926376 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:58:03 +0000 Skadi 1926376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We closely observed other families and asked lots of questions. I read a bunch of books before LO was born...the top three that have stayed with me are <i>Moms On Call, Brain Rules for Baby, </i>and <i>Bringing Up Bebe </i>(and it's companion book, <i>Bebe Day By Day</i>). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-educate-yourself-about-parenting-issues#post-1926366 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:48:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1926366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it all learning by doing? Did you read books before your LO was born? I'm a naturally curious person so I ask my friends a lot of questions about things they are going through with their LOs. </p>
