There are things that I was hesitant to bring up with DH, because I thought he'd be against them and I'd have to make a lot of effort to persuade him, but when I did, he was immediately all for it! The one that shocked me the most was cosleeping. I think maybe he was on board so quickly because of how much he loves having the dogs sleep with us. He was completely against having them sleep with us when we got our first dog, but quickly changed his mind. So maybe if he hadn't had that experience he'd feel differently?

He's also totally fine with anatomically correct dolls, dolls as toys regardless of LO's gender, baby led weaning, positive discipline/not spanking, being team green, and probably some more that I'm not remembering. All of these are very different from how he was parented and how he's seen his family parent, so I was really surprised that he mostly just wanted more information, but liked the idea of all of them. And he does feel completely comfortable arguing with me on these types of things if he doesn't agree, so it's not just that he feels like I'm the mom so I must know more than him.

Anyone else surprised by how their SO reacted to your non-mainstream parenting ideas?
