Sure, there is a lot you may not know about at this point, but you will definitely learn as you go along!</p> <p>I really do have to wonder about these people. Part of me feels sad - like, maybe they're just not educated? But then as @jmarionsmith says, a lot of this stuff is common sense.

I was thinking they must be from Texas. </p> <p>But, seriously, that is craaaazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-facebook-advice-about-going-from-breastmilk-to-formula#post-833441 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:43:24 +0000 Ra 833441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is stressing me out for different reasons. As a FTM, I hope that there won't be threads ripping apart my parenting skills when the time comes. I understand that some of these circumstances are questionable, but I feel bad knowing these moms are being ripped apart for isolated incidents. It just seems kind of mean.</p> <p>I don't know, maybe I am being sensitive because LO is due in 3 weeks and I have no idea when cow's milk is supposed to be introduced and would have never known about forward facing car seats if it weren't for this forum. I just think that there is no perfect parent and that I am sure I will be making mistakes along the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-facebook-advice-about-going-from-breastmilk-to-formula#post-833351 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:12:42 +0000 photojane 833351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dan's cousin just posted a picture of her 8-month-old eating a RING POP.

I told him I'll show him a video of what happens to a baby when they're a year old and forward facing in an accident and he wouldn't watch it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-facebook-advice-about-going-from-breastmilk-to-formula#post-833031 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:55:40 +0000 babynumber1 833031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I can't stand that excuse either.

Ice cream in every bottle?? I don't even let myself have that much ice cream.

This past Christmas, her status was a picture of their tree, with about 45+ large, wrapped boxes underneath. The caption was, "One day, she will look back, and know that our family had Christmas spirit"</p> <p>Uh, right.

I told her LO won't eat them and she's like..."oh, sprinkle some salt on them..or sugar. He'll love that. I did that with most of my kids' veggies"<br /> Um, really? salt is terrible and so is sugar for a 7m old.<br /> oh! and this weekend we went out to eat and I forgot to order something that LO could share with me (steak house).<br /> We asked the waitress if they had anything we could feed our son and she was like, "oh yeah, I can get a small bowl of cream for the little guy. that's soft, right?" I was like,,,"um, no...can we get come cottage cheese or ....a baked sweet potato or something?!" She has kids because she was telling DH that her son turns 7 this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-facebook-advice-about-going-from-breastmilk-to-formula#post-831359 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 19:57:27 +0000 MrsStar 831359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woah.
