Excellent line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-382650 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:59:06 +0000 Pink Champagne 382650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought for sure DS would be in his crib from day 1.<br /> He slept in his bassinet until 10 weeks. His grunting finally pushed me over the edge to putting him in his own room- we all get so much more sleep now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-382606 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:16:02 +0000 glimmersnaps 382606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food bribes.</p> <p>"It promotes unhealthy eating habits" I said.</p> <p>Ture, but it also promotes my sanity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-382604 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:15:09 +0000 prettylizy 382604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Co-bedding for sure. I swore baby would never be allowed to sleep with us. I bite my tongue on that now. The four month sleep regression keeeeeeeled me, and she was nursing so much at night I just plopped her next to me and shoved my boob in her mouth every time she made a peep. 8 months next week and she is happily STTN in her crib every night. Turns out bedsharing isn't the worst thing ever in the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-382597 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 21:10:23 +0000 bpcmarj 382597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedsharing. My mom laughed when I said I would never bring her into bed at night to nurse. She told me to wait until I was sooo tired and just needed some sleep. She was right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-382572 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 20:54:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 382572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swore she'd stay in a bassinet for a couple weeks and then we'd do the crib.</p> <p>umm..just went and bought the summer infant co-sleeper for our bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381570 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:24:00 +0000 banana 381570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said I would never let my kids watch TV before 2.

I don't have to change her clothes!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381547 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:16:07 +0000 ladyfingers 381547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pointybird: *like* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381520 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:07:41 +0000 plaidpants 381520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I ever specifically said the words, "I'll never catch vomit with my bare hands" but it was definitely something I never thought I would do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381515 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:06:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 381515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha ditto to @artbee: on the paci! I swore up and down I wouldn't give him one, then when out of desperation I tried to give him one he wouldn't take it!</p> <p>My big thing was co-sleeping. I swore up and down I would never bring my baby into bed with us, but his refusal to sleep anywhere but in my arms and my desperate need to sleep (I was falling asleep sitting up nursing him) led to us co-sleeping (half the night now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381388 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:24:26 +0000 T-Mom 381388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said no tv until 2 for DD and then when she was 18 mo she got pneumonia and it was 2 am and she was so sad. We turned on Baby Boost nursery Rhymes and she really perked up. It was a godsend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381285 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:50:23 +0000 heffalump 381285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's funny because most the things I say I won't do, I try so hard to get my LO to do and then she doesn't want to do anyway.</p> <p>I said no paci, then I tried so hard to give her one and she refused. I said no tv until she's two, then I try so hard to get her to watch when I have a migraine to give me a break but she refuses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-said-you-would-never-do#post-381258 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:40:40 +0000 mediagirl 381258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In about three or four posts on here, I said I would never give gifts to daycare workers. My husband wants to make sure we give three of the primary workers in our daughter's room something for the holidays for taking such great care of her. </p> <p>I give in. I get it now. I needed a lo and a lo in daycare to understand it. </p> <p>What have you done now that you have a lo that you said you would never do? </p>
