I have worn her most day since she was 2 weeks old, but once she got too big for the moby (around 2 mo) I started wearing her in a ring sling and that was it. I wish I'd bought a woven wrap at that point to wear her in, or even a tula then. She still looooooves being worn in my ring sling at 15 mo but she doesn't do nearly as well in wovens or tulas and I think it is because I started those with her so late (7 mo for woven, 12 mo for tula). And I wish I'd worn her just around the house more. We usually only wear when we go out and now that she is into EVERYTHING it would be easier if she was happy being worn at home but she just isn't, mostly. </p> <p>I wish I wouldn't have tried so hard to breastfeed. I don't think that it did her or me or my marriage any good to try as hard as I did. And if we'd have switched to formula earlier I think we could have gotten out a LOT more when she was a newborn which would have been good for mine and DH's mental health and would have made LO a bit more flexible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-wish-you-would-have-donenot-done#post-2268392 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 12:56:34 +0000 MrsTiz 2268392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: YUUUUP. So much this.</p> <p>I wish I would have made him wear hats when he was little, he won't tolerate them now. I wish I would have calmed the hell down, I was an anxiety-riddled mess. I wish I was more strict about pacifier usage, he got really hooked on it for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-wish-you-would-have-donenot-done#post-2268383 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 12:53:26 +0000 blackbird 2268383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I would have told more people to fuck off in regards to my pregnancy/parenting/etc. Damn having to be all polite and PC sometimes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-you-wish-you-would-have-donenot-done#post-2268374 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 12:48:44 +0000 Bao 2268374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I would have worn my LO's more when they were younger, I had an Ergo but didn't use it much. I would have liked to try some different carriers but never got around to it. </p> <p>I started cloth diapering my second LO around 1 year old, I really wish I would have tried it out with my first. Would have saved us a lot in the long run! </p> <p>I have a little bit of regret not being team green with LO2, we tried with LO1 and it got ruined (out of our control) and I'm bummed I'll never get that experience now. </p> <p>What are some things you wish you would have done as a parent or things you maybe wish you would have skipped? </p>
