If you have a child you an expert concerning all things related to your child however it does not make you an expert when it comes to MY child. Well meaning and well doing are two very different things and it would do the world wonders if people would remember that.
First time moms have a lot to learn but unless your advice is solicited or the child is being harmed your input on how to raise/feed/vaccine/hold/love my child is a blatant announcement of your disapproval of the choices my husband and I have made for our family and other then the fact that we have not asked for your approval its rude.
Reagan is not ....
Starving ( look at her.... shes not missing any meals)
overfed ( Breastfed babies are chubby.. its OK. shes in the 79% not that it even matters)
sleep deprived ( your confusing her with her mother...babies are allowed to sleep during the work day it does not mean something is wrong.... it means her growing body/brain is exhausted and needs to refuel)
an unhappy child ( someone actually said this b/c her grand son learned to smile before Reagan did)
Spoiled ( babies cry.....)
Bad ( don't you dare tell my child shes bad for crying.... she will be taught its rude to tell you your bad for speaking... crying in the only way she knows to communicate right now)
Don't lie, you know I spoil that baby with imported headbands! HAHA! On a serious note though, I think you're an awesome mom and I am proud of you and Brad for being able to hold your ground when it comes to decisions for YOUR child! Every child is different and as long as the two of you are doing the best you can for your child and she is happy and healthy that is all that counts.
