What was/is something that you said you would never do with your baby?

Question

Did you give in or are you holding strong?

**I always said that I would never give my baby pacifiers - gave in

**I would never let him sleep in my bed - gave in at first, but I really can't sleep with him in my bed, so we don't have a problem with that

**I never thought I would breastfeed, but when he was born I decided to give it a shot - It lasted for about two weeks

**Pick him up every time he cries. I always thought it would spoil him - well maybe it has, but he knows his mama will always be there for him

I asked this question months ago, but with the new faces around I wanna see what new responses I get.

Answer 1

We would never put him in daycare. And we didn't.

Answer 2

**Say "Because  said so." ---I say it sometimes

**Let her play with Barbies ---I gave in but the clothes have to cover up.

**Let her play with Bratz. ---I haven't given in and she'll even walk by them and say "I'm not allowed to play with those am I? Nope cause they have too much make up right momma?" lol

Good Q, God Bless

Answer 4

I was never going to give a pacifier...I gave in at three weeks

I was never going to let her sleep in our bed...I haven't REALLY given in she lays down with us for her morning feeding and when she dozes off I put her back in her crib.

I was never going to formula feed...HAD to give in last week at 4 1/2 months as she was not getting enough to wat on breastmilk alone...my supply couldn't keep up.

Answer 5

I always said he couldn't sleep in the bed, but he's in there every night. When he was born and first started eating baby food I said my baby can only eat organic food and nothing bad for him, now I'm like here have a cookie or a poptart.  

Answer 6

I said the pacifier thing, by my husband was the one that gave in and shes one now but only uses it if she's had a crying fit or shes really really cranky.

I said NO JUNK FOOD... but i only have my SIL to watch her when I need babysitting and lately shes been giving her Cheetos and alot of McDonalds. We had a discussion but she just keeps doing it cause its fun and easy. She has been getting alot of Ice Cream too from her cousins. They tell me to relax and let her live a little... NOT cool. We are still working on that.

I said I would never dress her in frilly clothes... well that went down the tube after she was born... I never took into account how CUTE girls are in frilly dresses when they are babies.

Answer 7

i said id never let him sleep in my bed...holding strong

i said i would not let him watch t.v. as a baby...going okay

never let him "cry it out"...going strong

breastfeed...had to give it up :(

Answer 8

#1 thing... I thought I'd NEVER formula feed. I found out that breastfeeding isn't as easy as it seems. Combine that with postpartum depression and well...

I was also very against co-sleeping. HA! Sleeps in bed with me every night. I would miss him if he wasn't there.

Answer 9

put them on a leash.. i will never ever do that i think whoever does do it needs to be put on a leash themselves

Answer 10

I always said i would not let the baby sleep in bed with me and i gave in when my hubby left for deployment...

i used to say i would not give the baby a pacifier all the time..i don't really but i do when he wakes up in the middle of the night...

Pick him up every time he cries. Same thing..i can't just let him cry..it breaks my heart.i don't want him to feel like i abandon him.

Answer 11

I promised i would never give my daughter a pacifier,but i gave in about uhh 2 weeks. lol

Answer 12

I thought I believed in Cio-I was wrong.I said I would never wear my baby & I actually like it sometimes,at least until he can walk.I thought that I would be able to leave him with other people but that doesn't happen either.Most people say I am too clingy but hey it works for me..:)

Answer 13

I said I would never use baby talk and that i would speak "properly" to my baby so that he would learn to talk correctly . . . yea right!  i can "goo goo" and "gaa gaa" with the best of them!  haha.  

Answer 14

I always said I would never, ever let her in bed with us. She slept with us every night for about 3 weeks when the house was cold and drafty!

I always said I would never talk in baby talk...that flew right out the window!

I always said I'd never, ever use a microwave to heat up a bottle. But in the middle of the night when you're exhausted and brain dead it's amazing what you catch yourself doing!

Most of all, I said I'd never be a mom. I didn't want to. Now I wouldn't change things for the world!

Answer 15

i said I'd never let him watch tv - sometimes when i've done everything i can think of with him like a walk, read to him, playtime etc and I have nothing left to do I give in to the "gods of tv" (i still feel guilty sometimes!)
