Hellobee Boards

Everything:

Co-sleeping - he's been in our bed since 6 months (I'm not sure I could work full time if I didn't).

Breastfeeding as long as we are - I said teeth and then 1 year old max. Yeah we have to go till 2 cause of medical issues (and the fact that I am cheap).

Leash - I didn't want a leash and now I love leashing him. It gives him freedom

Buy baby food and cloth diaper.

Spank. We've spanked a few times...

And tv, whenever Ben wakes up at 4:30 am and won't go back to sleep, I'm guilty of letting him lay next to me and watch the Disney junior app.

The only thing I said I wouldn't do is a paci!
LO only got a paci at the hospital (nurses gave it to her when they took her for heel pricks and etc).

I swore I wouldn't be a SAHM, well that's what I am now....

@Mrs. Bee: LOL

Mine was use spit to "wipe" my daughter's face. But what do I do? If there's no sink or face wipe available, I lick my thumb and get that grime off her face.

I swear I wouldn't:

Cosleep- the only way we get sleep these days

Ever use formula- has been on formula for 3 months due to bf'ing and work issues

Let him watch tv- he seriously loves it and sometimes the only way it calms him down

Be that mom who posts every pic on FB and thinks its the most adorable thing- I totally do this

I'm sure there's a ton more!

@Mrs. Bee: Well said!

Pacifier and TV. She doesn't "watch" TV but is totally staring it when we're watching sports or "Always Sunny." LOL. That's probably worse than having her watch kid tv shows.

@Mrs. Bee: same!

@Coco Bee: LOL!! C has definitely had her share of witnessing Blair scheming and Serena's cleavage herself!

Two things I do that I thought I would not do, allow him to have a pacifier and I sometimes let him watch TV, not for long, but sometimes if he looks at it for 5 minutes it calms him down.

I was so opposed to cosleeping. And while a lot of my reasons (wanting adult space, not wanting to nurse all night) were legit, I found a lot of things to love about cosleeping and bedsharing. My husband still sleeps with her in her floor bed for part of the night most nights, and we all nap together. I adore it.

I also said that I'd never watch tv around her or put it on for her. And I don't, for the most part. But a few times, on just the worst most awful days, I have.

I never swore I wouldn't do something, but the things I wanted to avoid that I do are:

- Co-bed: Sawyer spends at least a few hours every night sleeping in our bed.
- Let him watch TV: He is a high needs baby attention wise, putting on the TV and putting him in the jumperoo is the only way I can eat!
- Be a STFU Mom: We posted c-section pics, and I am pretty sure I have had a poop status already, luckily most of my FB friends are also STFU Moms (LOL)
- Be the Mom who can't leave her baby: The only time I have spent away was to get my hair done twice (because he isn't a good bottler)

@Coco Bee: Yep! Totally referring to the blog. I actually have looked on there praying not to see something I have posted (LOL). Thanks for the comment on the c-section pics. I love them, personally, but I know they aren't some people's taste (we did have a warning on the album description, and the cover pic was of Sawyer so you wouldn't have come across them by accident)

@MsMini: I want to see these pictures lol
