Just laughing at the 2nd one because it's sort of funny and totally not baby-related! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-advice-do-you-wish-youd-taken#post-664725 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 07:44:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 664725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good thread! someone once told me to follow my (mom) instinct. I was so worried about what other people thought/said, what the books said, etc. Once I let go and realized I could do what worked for us, things became much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-advice-do-you-wish-youd-taken#post-664662 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 06:20:56 +0000 immabeetoo 664662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally I'm an eye roller when it comes to advice - which is ignorant because often it could actually be helpful! But my first instinct is to ignore. What advice do you wish you'd taken?</p> <p>For me I can think of two specific instances:</p> <p>"The carseat is very heavy, if you're petite I'd reconsider"<br /> (Britax Chaperone is FREAKING HEAVY why didn't I listen! My baby is now 16 lbs at 4 months and I can barely limp along with him in it.)</p> <p>"Be careful, it's slick"<br /> (I was buying a sled....and it was slick. Broke my back in two places and my tailbone. Hello chronic lifelong injury, not worth it to have snow fun!) </p>
