I tried cereal with my littleman he stayed constipated for a whole day. Then when he finally used the bathroom. It was loaded up. I wish I would have never took the advice on cosleeping. Cosleeping has its pros and cons. Next baby I'm def going to have a bassinet or the swings that swing side to side !
My sister and friend suggested cosleeping. They kept telling me it would help my son sleep better and keep me at ease. Now I'm ready to claim my bed back lol. I got so much I need to break him from. But I'm slowly learning and getting the hang of things
@bahamamama4828 I don't see how pee could be good for the skin. It's too acidic which is what causes the rash when on the skin too long and then chafed bt the diaper. Yo momma crazy lol. Jkjk but seriously you should ask her where she heard that and what the benefits are supposed to be
Ive heard peeing on your feet in the shower helps to keep them soft and kills warts. I cant tell you if its true or not. Plus the peing on a jelly fish sting. Maybe thats where her thoughts on pe being good for you came from? Lol
Water causes chafing and rashes too. A rash is just irritated skin. I don't think pee should be applied to babies and I do not think it is wise (or socially acceptable) to leave a baby in a urine filled diaper though. The urine is absolutely sterile for 15 minutes when it comes out. After that, the germs begin their work. Some people have had success with urine in treating skin cancer. Military personnel are trained to pee on wounds when nothing else is available.
Ive been told the whole baby cereal thing before he was a month old and I am ebf. Thank mil but he is fine :-p
Oh, those nurses that now come visit you in your home after you deliver. Mine told me that babys don't mind being in their pee diapers because it reminds them of being in the womb and they like being warm and wet O.o I didn't not take that advice lol and was really starting to question her credability after that statement.
My mil also wanted me to let him cio starting as soon as I brought him home other wise it "spoils them"... yeah ok, ill teach my baby from the start that he can't depend on his mother. Thank god she lives five states away and I only have to deal with her through the phone.
When my daughter came home from the hospital in 2008 she hadnt been sleeping at night. My mother insisted that she had her days and nights mixed up and suggested I hang her upside down for a few minutes! I never did this! I would never do this, not do I suggest it!!!
@MichelleBelle my grandpa kept going on about how good crying is for their lungs and since Isaac hardly cries my Grandpa then went on to say that I should pinch him to get him to cry.... oy our grandparents/parents rofl
Though it makes you wonder what we do now they will be saying isn't good when our lo's are grown
@fate where did you hear about military personnel peeing on wounds? I asked my fiance who served active duty army for 6 yrs and he said they aren't...just curious.
Most of what I've heard already's been written. I can't think of anything new lol
My teenage cousin had a big prob with stinky feet, it was bad. My grandpa told him to pee on his feet while in the shower & it worked!!! Never had the problem again.
@MichelleBelle - hahahah right?! I sat there wondering if he had pinched me when I was a baby... and then at one point Isaac did start crying while he was holding him and for a split second I almost lost it thinking he had pinched him. He hadn't but still that thought raced through my mind.
I'm trying to think of others
Whiskey on gums when they are teething (though I have seen some good arguments for its use but when you get that advice from your alcoholic mil, its hard to take it seriously....)

I also heard about the cereal at one month.. oh no their little tummys aren't even able to digest it.
Plus the peing on a jelly fish sting. Maybe thats where her thoughts on pe being good for you came from? Lol

@Fate I remember my step dad telling me that. Very interesting.
