<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Today's society has their parenting all sorts of backwards...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> First, you have this new baby. A baby that is in all sense of the word: Helpless. They cannot get fed, go potty, change clothes, change positions...can't do ANYTHING without your help. They have a teeny, tiny stomach that needs tiny amounts of food VERY often. They have no clue about time, about wake and sleep cycles, about feelings or anything else. The most they know is that nursing is awesome, mom cuddles are great and that if something isn't right, crying is their only option to get someone to fix what they cannot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Knowing all of this, parents still think it is A-Ok, to feed a humongous bottle of formula and expect baby to be satisfied for 4+ hours and not cry or be hungry, they expect baby to sleep ALL night long (meaning 12+ hours) and not cry, If they don't comply..then baby is expected to "learn" how to be happy laying in the dark all alone for those 12 hours and not to make a peep or expect mom to fix a thing because she needs her sleep and this tiny baby that doesn't really understand a thing is expected to just do this without a fuss. Baby is taught from birth to use the bathroom in their diaper and then magically at 18 month or 24 months, they should just automatically use the toilet with no accidents and within a day. They have been given a bottle or breast or pacifier since birth and again, are expected to simply give it up because the parent or society decided that 12 months or sooner it should be gone. The kid again is expected to just drop it immediately. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Room-sharing or bed sharing is done for hot minute and expected to be dropped on demand at some other arbitrary age. The kid is expected to play alone and not whine, to not touch anything that is within their reach. And so on and so forth....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> These kids are expected to grow up and mature and do SO much before they are even emotionally or physically ready. As tiny babies it is thrust upon them. Then, around school age, maybe sooner...the switch happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Suddenly, these same kids that were forced and thrust into independence and maturity are treated like invalids. No, you cannot play with that or watch that or go on that playground equipment. No, you cannot be in the yard alone for five seconds. No, you cannot go over to a friends house to play unless I am hovering over you. No, you cannot touch this or do that or think that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I seriously read a story recently about a 12 year old that was home alone when the house was robbed and he called 911 and all was ok. There were SO many comments bad mouthing the mom for leaving him alone and comments asking about calls to CPS. For a TWELVE YEAR OLD! These are the same people that claim my 17 year old shouldn't be left home alone or allowed to go to a friends house, or to be outside alone. SEVENTEEN... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> No I have to ask...when did we get so twisted around? How is it that people believe a TINY BABY can "self-soothe" and should be fine alone all night for 12 hours without a peep and no food or changing, and yet also believe that a person cannot be trusted with themselves until after 18?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This perception needs to change and be flipped...seriously.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-70859172975837899612013-07-17T11:50:00.002-05:002013-07-17T11:50:59.105-05:00The Judicial System Works<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> We, as a country, rely on and trust in the judicial system to convict criminals</span>. Having said that, we must also then rely on and trust that same system to acquit people. That is how the system works. Could there be some flaws? Sure. Innocent people will sometimes be convicted and guilty people will sometimes go free. That is the price to pay. Like it or not, once a case is presented before a judge and jury, lawyers have had their say, and jurors have deliberated and a decision is reached...that is it. The system did its job. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> If you have a problem with how this system works, there are many avenues you can take in order to try and change it. You can write congressmen, senators, and governors. You can lobby in Washington. You can hold protests. These are things you are allowed and encouraged to do in this country and what this country is about. Everyone is allowed to do so, no one is prevented from it. It is one of the things that make this nation great. These things don't require you to be a certain race, color or creed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> What I cannot understand, is why people think it is ok to beat up random strangers because they didn't like the outcome of a trial. Or why it is ok to stalk or wish harm on someone that was put on trial and deemed not guilty. I understand being upset, I can see being mad...but, to stoop below the level of that persons actions in order to "prove a point" or "provide justice" is the epitome of ignorance and hate. This case was tried in a court, facts were presented and a jury found a man not guilty. Case closed. Yet, there are people that are holding on to emotions, to hate and instead of moving on and trying to build us up as a whole nation. There are those that listened purely to media and their views of what happened that were presented in a way to draw attention, emotion and fuel hate. There are those that won't look past that emotion and deal with reality. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Don't spend you time trying to live up to stereotypes, let's ditch those labels and live as a whole. Let's put the hate, the media, the hype and the emotions about it behind us and move forward together. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> The system works and we need to trust in it. If we only follow what the media tells up to follow and only expect outcomes we want to happen and continue to let our emotions and media be our guide in life, we will never move forward and we will continue to remain stagnant and divided. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While I am on the subject:</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Zimmerman was not tried under the "Stand Your Ground" law, it was based solely on "self defence". Also, 911 dispatchers are NOT policemen. Therefore, it is not law that you must follow their orders. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">SN:</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shooting a gun into the air is illegal because the bullet WILL fall back down to Earth and could hit a random person, you are better off shooting an attacker directly in the chest as opposed to firing a warning shot. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-88019471662703142262013-05-31T14:33:00.001-05:002013-05-31T14:33:34.222-05:00Imagine How It Feels...<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, today, I need you to put on your imagination caps and come with me while we conduct a little experiment. Are you ready? This might be a little tough on your emotions. I need you to commit fully to this experience. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Imagine you are cozy, warm, full and sleeping...it is normal, not scary and feels "right". Nothing out of place. You have been like this for a while. You know nothing else. You are fine. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now, someone has yanked you from this peaceful place, wrapped you up, stuck you all alone in a room and left you. You are hungry, cold and scared. You are paralyzed. You cannot recognize the language they speak. You are in a foreign land. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Occasionally, someone comes and gets you and feeds you and cuddles you and talks to you. You are happy. They make sure you are dry, full and warm. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Something happens when it gets dark though...you are back in the room on your back, alone, cold, hungry, scared, uncomfortable and wet. You cannot roll over, you cannot speak, you cannot leave...you are stuck. What do you do? Do you cry? What happens when you cry? Do they come for you? If they come for you, do they soothe you, comfort you, feed you? Do they merely pat you? Do they shush you? What would you like for them to do?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Imagine that this is not you, but, your baby. They come into this world from a warm, cozy place where they are fed constantly, always warm and comfortable. They are near you and can hear you. Now, they are born and at night, you expect them to lie all alone in a dark room, no one to hold them, to feed them, to soothe them. You expect this baby that cannot move, cannot speak, cannot understand to just lay there and sleep, to not cry, to not want help or fed, to not want love...all because it is dark and you want sleep. They DO NOT understand this, they will not understand this until later. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Imagine as an adult thrust into that situation how scared you would be, how long it would take you to feel alright, to learn to sleep all night...and you are an adult. You have understanding, mature emotions and thoughts. Why expect all that and more from a baby? They aren't even capable. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cry It Out is wrong, sleep training is wrong, expecting a baby to sleep all night is wrong. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So apparently, a child has no rights because they are <em>a child</em>. They are humans, they are living breathing souls, but, according to some people, they should not have rights. No rights to privacy, to their own thoughts, own emotions, own space, nothing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ok, let's explore the right to privacy...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You believe your child has none. If that is the case, move them into the living room, remove the door off the bathroom and put everything they "own" in a box. Make sure they NEVER have a moment alone. NEVER buy them a diary. In fact, buy a white board and make them pour out their heart and soul onto it and leave it up for the world to see and make the family discuss it at the dinner table. When company comes over, have them pilfer through the box of things and allow them to peruse until they are content. Always stand inside the bathroom with your child while they use it, doesn't matter if they are bathing, pottying...whatever. Take a picture of every movement they make and post it online. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now, tell me again that your child has "NO right to privacy". Yeah, I do believe they deserve at least a little respect. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">A diary should be a safe harbor to write things you wouldn't say to another person, to express feeling that are too hard to share, to release frustrations that can't be acted upon. A way for a sane person to deal with life and emotions. To write silly embarrassing things. Private notes. Special thoughts. Prayers. They are not merely paper to write things for mom to know. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">A child is a human, a person and deserves every bit of respect and rights and privacy as you or I. They are not pawns, things to own, less than. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If your child has a private diary, journal, lock box, safe corner...whatever, respect that. Allow them that bit of anonymity, autonomy and privacy. Let them have feelings and emotions separate of yours. Allow them that right to have their innermost private thoughts to be just that, PRIVATE. A child does NOT have to share their every thought or emotion with you. They OWN that thought and all rights to it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This doesn't just apply to diaries though. It applies to a various and sundry list of things. Though they may be a child that you are in charge of and responsible for, you do NOT own them, nor do you own their feelings, thoughts or emotions. The least you can do is allow them that right. </span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I posted a picture earlier that had a collection of stupid books, baby trainers and more on it. One of the pics was of the book, "To train up a child". Someone commented defending them as great folks.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I countered and presented her with facts about them directly from their website. <a href="http://nogreaterjoy.com/">NoGreaterJoy.com</a> It showed their advice of hitting a BABY..like 4-12 months...with "a length of weed eater chord [sic]" if they cry to be picked up and continue until they stop crying and begin to show joy again.</span><br />
<br />

You should read No Greater Joy Volume One and Volume Two. We discussed this subject several times in those two books. For young children, especially during the first year, the rod is used very lightly as a training tool. You use something small and light to get the child’s attention and to reinforce your command. One or two light licks on the bare legs or arms will cause a child to stop in his tracks and regard your commands. A 12-inch piece of weed eater chord works well as a beginner rod. It will fit in your purse or pocket.</span><br id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[3]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[4]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Later, a plumber’s supply line is a good spanking tool. You can get it at Wal-Mart or any hardware store. Ask for a plastic, ¼ inch, supply line. They come in different lengths and several colors; so you can have a designer rod to your own taste. They sell for less than $1.00. A baby needs to be trained all day, everyday. It should be a cheerful, directing training, not a correction training. If a 10-month-old plays in the dirt in the flowerpot, a simple swat to the hand accompanied with the command “No,” said in a cheerful but authoritative voice, should be sufficient.</span><br id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[5]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[6]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">When your 6-month-old baby grabs sister’s hair, while he still has a hand full of hair, swat his hand or arm and say “No, that hurts sister.” If he has already let go of her hair, then put his hand back on her hair, so as to engage his mind in the former action, and then carry on with the hand swatting and the command. If you found your baby trying to stick something in the electrical receptacle, keep his hand on the object and near the receptacle while giving him a few swats on the back of the offending hand, and this to the sound of your rebuke—“No, don’t touch, No, don’t touch.” This time he needs to cry and be upset.</span><br id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[7]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[8]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">If your 10-month-old is pitching a fit because he wants to be picked up, then you must reinforce your command with a few stinging swats. You are not punishing him; you are causing him to associate his negative behavior with negative consequences. Never reward bad behavior with indifference. Tell the baby “No” and give him a swat. If your response is new, he may be offended and scream louder. But continue your normal activities as if you are unaffected. Wait one minute, and then tell the baby to stop crying. If he doesn’t, again swat him on his bare legs. You don’t need to undress him, turn him over, or make a big deal out of it. Just swat him where any skin is exposed. Continue to act as if you don’t notice the fit. Wait two minutes and repeat. Continue until the baby realizes that this is getting worse not better. Most babies will keep it going for 3 or 4 times and then slide to a sitting position and sob it out. When this happens, it signals a surrender, so give him two minutes to get control and then swoop him up as if the fit never happen and give him a big hug, BUT don’t hold him in the manner he was demanding. Now remove yourself from the area so as to remove him from association with the past event.</span><br id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[9]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" /><span id=".reactRoot[8].[1][2][1]{comment301956633266144_1304761}.0.[1].0.[1].0.[0].[0][2].0.[10]" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font: 11px/14px 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Don’t ever hit a small child with your hand. You are too big and the baby is too small. The surface of the skin is where the most nerves are located and where it is easiest to cause pain without any damage to the child. The weight of your hand does little to sting the skin, but can cause bruising or serious damage internally. Babies need training but they do not need to be punished. Never react in anger or frustration. If you loose it, get your self under control before you attempt to discipline a child.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, apparently, since I run a page supporting natural, gentle, A/P parenting and that means I must be "on" at all times and NEVER diviate from the "Perfect, Holier-Than-Thou" persona at any time. I must ALWAYS post things pertaining to Natural, Gentle, A/P parenting and never make mention of any activities, thoughts, actions, desires, want, needs or anything else that falls outside of Sanctimommy A/P bounderies. Because no one EVER sees the good things I post and always latch on to the one thing not A/P and will follow that thought to the absolute hilt and never waiver. Seriously folks, you need to get a life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">About Honey Boo Boo taking my A/P card:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> I have seen a few episodes, but, I like Alana and Mama June and Sugar Bear. Why? They are genuine, down to earth and love each other. They are ACCEPTING (unlike many horrible A/P Crunchy moms). They do things as a family unit. They overlook flaws. Sure, they eat some shitty foods. They have no manners at home...but, I don't have manners in my own home all the time. I mean, I DO burp and fart. Maybe A/P moms don't? I dunno....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, yesterday, I posted something about them with the caption, "I like them. I don't even care." ZOMG...that got some people all freaked the eff out. "I like them"...and put them on my page and apparently, that translates into, "Ignore EVERYTHING else in the world...follow this family and do as they do because I comepletely endose them as the worlds most perfect examples of A/P parenting."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Really folks?!?! Really? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some lady literally, threatened to post my page to all media outlets, to write up a story for NBC news based on this exchange and let me know she had screenshots. Um...chick don't realize people screenshot our page all day everyday. LOL I also am going to go out on a limb and guess that the world doesn't care if I like Honey Boo Boo or not and they for sure don't give a rats ass about my page and my thoughts enough to give a damn what "Mrs. NBC Writer" has to say about me. Friggin laughable. That's what that is. According to her and a few others, I should lose my A/P advocate card and "hang it up" and no longer advocate for babies since I "like" this family. WTF?!?!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Let me explain something to you kind people...The tenants of A/P don't say a thing about Honey Boo Boo or Reality TV or anything close to it...Let me refresh your memory:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;">"Per Dr. Sears' theory of attachment parenting (AP), proponents such as the API attempt to foster a secure bond with their children by promoting eight principles which are identified as goals for parents to strive for. These eight principles are:<sup class="Template-Fact" style="white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from May 2012">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, Dr. Sears does not require a parent to strictly follow any set of rules, instead encouraging parents to be creative in responding to their child's needs. Attachment parenting, outside the guise of Dr. Sears, focuses on responses that support secure attachments."</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Would ya lookit that? No mention of what I am allowed to watch, like, endorse or mention. Wosers...I guess that means I DO get to keep my card after all. Too bad some people can't see past their FWCC Petrol Pfau to see all the other mommas around them with Ergos. You know, stuck up, snooty Sanctimonious, I'm completely and perfectly crunchy and do it ALL...and you totally do the same thing on a lesser scale, but, aren't worth my time with your Cosco Sceneca..I have a Cleck Foonf because it cost the most type moms. Yeah...</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why is it if say extended rearfacing is mentioned and a mom doesn't want to hear about it, we get told, "There are different parenting styles". Um, I call BULLSHIT...wanting your kid safe is not a parenting "STYLE". Rearfacing IS safer. That is FACT not mere opinion. All you have to do is research it to find out, but, these "other style" of moms can't be arsed to bother. They would rather call everyone else a "crazy, AP, over protective mom". Uh huh...fine, I guess I will accept that title if it means my kid is fucking safer. Ok then, that's me, "crazy, AP over-protective mom". Whatever. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Parenting styles that differ are those that hover their child when they are climbing on the jungle gym and those that don't. Those are parenting styles..things that wouldn't really matter wither way. Not choosing to do something potentially dangerous or not dangerous. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using CIO or not using CIO...ok, if there wasn't studies out that PROVE that a baby all alone in a room crying for hours until they give out and pass out was bad for their brains, then this could be called different parenting styles...but, since it can't. Don't tell me that allowing your under 2 month old to cry for even 30 minutes with you nowhere in sight is just your way of parenting. Again, I call bullshit. You just can't be arsed to parent at night. Oh and I am not talking about those that took care of baby's needs, that are actively involved. I am referring to the, "I need sleep. Let baby cry...he will fall asleep." folks. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you put cereal in the baby bottle to "help them sleep", or you prop the bottle up "so you can do stuff". That is NOT just a different parenting style than me. Again...I call BULLSHIT!! Cereal in a bottle is wrong. There ARE warnings against it because it is a choking hazard and if your kid can't eat it off a spoon, they aren't ready for solids. Again...all FACT. You just don't care to learn and don't want to care. You can't be arsed to research and learn and care. And don't give me the, "my baby has reflux" spiel. Did you know that the cereal in a bottle remedy is an OLD outdated one? Yeah...feed baby smaller amounts frequently instead of massive bottles and reflux can generally be helped. Try it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know...I haven't been in your shoes..blah, blah, blah.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nope... he slept with me, I fed bottles by HOLDING him, even at night. Every 4 hours. Well, that was after the first month where I nurse 2 straight hours. Stopped for 30 minutes then he nursed another 2 hours. Yeah...24/7. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He would drink a bottle every 4 hours, he slept all night long from 3 months because he knew I was there and would happily get up and feed him. There was no cereal in his bottle ever either. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, is that to say I am perfect and I never did anything wrong. NOPE...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did plenty wrong. I turned him forward facing at 6 months. BUT, that was before there was even a 1 and 20 law or internet or extended rearfacing researched here in the US. The law was 20lbs at the time and I turned him, but, I did use a 5-point harness and I did keep him in a seat longer than everyone else. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My next kid...will be rearfaced until the max of his seat, will sleep with me and NEVER CIO, and won't have a bottle at all if I can help it. Why? Because I am adult enough to research, to see where I went wrong and try better. To acknowledge that my way was wrong and there are better ways. I have the ability to research and change and understand and not be caught up in my pride. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The thing is...I WILL continue to try and educate those that care to know about these things and you can continue to ignore it. BUT don't you dare try to excuse your unwillingness as merely a different parenting style. Tell it like it is, you just don't care to know better and I will still be here when you do decide to care.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-75949180996926494462012-12-15T21:45:00.002-06:002012-12-15T21:46:55.073-06:00Newtown, Connecticut Tribute 12/14/12<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/01/the-dangers-of-excessive-childhood-vaccinations.aspx">source</a><br />
<br />
As soon as most American babies are earth side they are poked with their first vaccination - Hepatitis B in accordance with the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child.html#print">CDC recommendation</a>. This at-birth vaccination is the first of three shots for Hepatitis B. Some resources claim that the three shots provide a <a href="http://www.hepb.org/hepb/vaccine_information.htm">lifetime of protection</a>, others believe the <a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/salud/esp_salud33x.htm#Dangerously%20Misguided%20Universal%20Infant%20Hepatitis%20B%20Vaccination%20Policy">immunity provided by vaccination is short-lived</a> stating that, <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">"</span></span><span style="color: #545429; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Between
30-50% of vaccinated individuals may lose their antibodies
within 7 years." </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
So why is this seemingly controversial vaccine routine for newborns? The <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/rec-iz-babies.html">CDC website</a> simply states, "to protect against Hepatitis B". But are the majority of newborn babies truly at risk of contracting Hepatitis B?<br />
<br />
Often times, the answer is a resounding, "No!" Of course, as with all vaccine decisions choosing to waive the Hepatitis B vaccine is a case by case scenario. Each family must research and determine their individual risk before coming to their own conclusion. In our case, neither Jemma or baby brother will be vaccinated for Hepatitis B as newborns.<br />
<br />
Here's why ...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.who.int/features/qa/11/en/index.html"><b>WHAT IS HEPATITIS B?</b></a><br />
Hepatitis B is an awful virus which plagues many people around the world, many of whom are children. <i>Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The virus
interferes with the functions of the liver and activates the immune
system, which produces a specific reaction to combat the virus. As a
consequence of pathological damage, the liver becomes inflamed. A small
percentage of infected people cannot get rid of the virus and become
chronically infected – these people are at high risk of death from
cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer.</i><br />
<br />
Most people who contract Hepatitis B experience flu-like symptoms and recover on their own without medical intervention. It is a small percentage who experience chronic issues.<i> </i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/hepb-guide/hepatitis-b-topic-overview"><b>HOW IS IT CONTRACTED?</b></a><br />
For us, this information was the biggest contributor to our decision. Hepatitis B can be contracted from:<br />
<ul>
<li>Prenatally, from mama to baby - if mama has it, baby may get it too</li>
<li>Unsafe needle use - drugs, unsterilized needle use, blood transfusions, etc.</li>
<li>Unprotected sexual contact</li>
<li>Sharing personal products (razors, etc.) with an infected person </li>
</ul>
Our family doesn't fall into any of these risks, and therefore, the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of contracting the Hepatitis B virus.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/salud/esp_salud33x.htm#Dangerously%20Misguided%20Universal%20Infant%20Hepatitis%20B%20Vaccination%20Policy"><b>WHAT IS THE RISK OF THE VACCINE?</b></a><br />
<ul>
<li><i>In 1996 only 54 cases of the disease were reported to the CDC in the 0-1 age group.</i></li>
<li>That year there were 3.9 million births, making the infected percentage just 0.001.</li>
<li>That same year the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) logged 1,080 negative reports for the 0-1 age group, 47 of which were death.</li>
</ul>
Simply, <i>for every child with Hepatitis B there were 20 that were reported to have severe complications. </i>And, in most cases, only 10% of adverse reactions are reported to VAERS<b> </b>which means ... <i>Traditional medicine is harming 200 children to protect one from Hepatitis B. </i><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.drugs.com/sfx/hepatitis-b-vaccine-side-effects.html">Adverse reactions</a> range from diarrhea to nausea to allergic reactions to seizures. All of which can be life threatening to a tiny newborn. <br />
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
I hope this information is helpful for new parents as they evaluate their family's personal vaccine plan. It is amazing to me that <a href="http://www.askdrsears.com/content/hepatitis-b-do-newborns-need-vaccine-std">someone somewhere thought it would be a good idea to vaccinate all newborns for what is commonly known as an STD</a>. I'm thankful such a vaccine exists, some people do need it! Who knows, my children may need it someday based on circumstances, mistakes, or travel, but at birth, they surely do not. As a parent, it is my job to research and screen what my children come in contact with whether it be something influential like particular TV shows or something potentially harmful or unnecessary like vaccinations. It takes time and energy to research these details. It even takes a little bit of guts to share my findings and decision with you! But I'm happy to do it, for my children's sake and for the benefit of sharing knowledge amongst parents striving to do the very best in caring for their children.<br />
<br />
For us, the Hepatitis B vaccine will definitely be waived, verbally with our care providers and in writing on my birth plan. <b>What are your thoughts on the Hepatitis B vaccine?</b><br />

I'm going to give you all fair warning on this post. If you aren't feeling the placenta love - read no further. I know I have some family and friend readers who might think twice about our relationship after the placenta report. Then again, I know I have some super crunchy mama friends who will be utterly fascinated like me.<br />
<br />
And now, the report ...<br />
I'm three weeks into my placenta consumption and feeling great! I'm not going to give all the credit to my placenta, but I'm givin' her alot. <i>Yes, I've determined that my placenta is female.</i> The non-placenta credit goes to Dominic and my Mama who have been super supporters of my transition from pregnancy to postpartum - lots of yummy food, hugs, and help with the wee ones.<br />
<br />
Here's how it all went down ... <br />
After birthing my placenta a solid 40 minutes after Max was <a href="http://www.thatmamagretchen.com/2012/08/announcing-arrival-of.html">born on the bathroom floor</a>, we moved the bowl and placenta into the bath tub. I got stitched up, settled into bed, and then midwife Kat gave Dominic and I a placenta tour. This not only allowed her to make sure everything was fully intact, but it gave us a chance to check out the amazing organ that nourished Max for so long. Luckily, Christine was there to capture the tour in photographs.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Kat wrapped my placenta up in plastic, took it home, and proceeded to encapsulate it. Encapsulating is a process similar to drying and curing meat, so when it is done, it's almost like beef jerky. Then, Kat diced, minced, and pulverized my placenta into a dust and poured the dust into tiny pills. She delivered them to me Friday evening (Max was born Thursday morning) so I could start taking them right away. In the beginning I took 25-30 pills each day; now I'm down to 5-10 each day. <i>I was taking so many because Kat special ordered mini pills for me (size 2s instead of the normal size 0 or 00). I stink at taking larger pills - like, I tragically gag and Dominic can't stop laughing at how pathetic I am</i>. <i>Kat found them through Super Supplements for mamas like me who are interested in encapsulating, but have pill gagging issues. </i><br />

I'll definitely encapsulate with future pregnancies. The benefits can't be beat and for $150 it is a worthwhile investment in my sanity. I've found my mood to be quite normal. <i>Whatever that means :) </i>I'm not very teary - I think I've only cried three or four times compared to multiple times each day with my first postpartum experience. I feel overwhelmed, but positive. My milk came in at 36 hours compared to 3 days with Jemma. And, when it came in, it was much calmer and more gradual ... not the painful experience I had with Jem where I was bawling in the shower. I think the biggest clincher was my when my Mom told me that she feels I'm doing really well. She sees a difference which makes me think I'm not making up the placenta awesomeness :)<br />
<br />
Here's <a href="http://www.thatmamagretchen.com/2012/04/why-i-plan-to-eat-my-placenta.html">my first post on placentas</a> for those that missed it. I opted to skip the smoothie and go straight for the pills; more due to timing and respect for my Mom's Vitamix than anything else :)<br />

I bet your britches you're asking WHY create a birth plan in the first place. Well, here are my initial thoughts: <br />
<ul>
<li>First off, call it a birth guide (or birth preferences), because that's what it is. A birth guide outlines your hopes and wishes for the best possible birth while taking into account potential rabbit trails.</li>
<li>A birth guide gives mamas control in an often unknown journey.</li>
<li>It ensures that your "most importants" are explicitly communicated.</li>
<li>It gives your partner a quick reference. Lord knows Dominic doesn't want to memorize all my hopes and wishes :)</li>
</ul>
With all that in mind, here are a few tips for creating a birth guide: <br />
<br />
<b>WRITE AND REWRITE</b> <br />
When you sit down to write your birth guide, travel back to college and go with the rough draft/work in progress mentality. The first round shouldn't be the last. Once you punch out your initial thoughts have your partner review it. Make adjustments and plan to discuss what you've come up with at your next prenatal appointment. Many times your care provider will ask thought provoking questions and add necessary details. Once you develop your final guide, present a copy to your provider for your file and their reference. It doesn't hurt to ask them to sign it as well! Then there is no doubt you are on the same page.<br />
<br />
<b>BE SUCCINCT</b><br />
Yes, I'm the one who could write a novel with helpful graphs and photos as my birth guide. But, I'm sticking to one page using bullets and simple sentences. <i>I also plan to write a "In Case of Transfer/Hospital Birth Guide", but that is a separate document.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>BE PERSONAL</b><br />
Attitude and tone are super important in a
birth guide. You're not the expert (that's why you are partnering with
your care provider), but you are an informed parent who is responsible
for the final decisions made for mama and baby's health. Birth plans are
becoming increasingly popular and I'm assuming many care providers see
the same thing day in and day out. Don't be afraid to make your guide
personal - fun and witty or add a picture or two. If it stands out to them, I think there is a higher likelihood that they'll pay attention to your requests.<br />
<br />
<b>COVER THE BASICS</b><br />
Consider including the following categories in your guide:<br />
<ul>
<li>Environment - lighting, temperature, music, number of people in the room</li>
<li>Labor - procedure preferences, eating/drinking plan, comfort methods</li>
<li>Birth - preferred position, access to a mirror, who will be present, cord clamping, skin-to-skin, placenta plan</li>
<li>Postpartum Recovery - breastfeeding, duration of stay, rooming in, baby bathing, visitors</li>
<li>In Case of Emergency or Cesarean - who stays with mom and who goes with baby, reuniting</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>ADD A DISCLAIMER</b><br />
You may or may not need this little tidbit. But, some of my birth guide requests are less common and I want to remove the crazy factor for those who might be more mainstream. This especially applies to my hospital guide. It will go something like this:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If the situation becomes life-threatening for Gretchen or our baby, we will of course yield to any request for life-saving intervention, upon the briefest of consultation. In the strong likelihood that we have the normal birth that we are expecting, we ask that you refrain from any routine interventions or measures that we have not previously agreed upon. </i></div>
Thanks to Hypnobabies for the eloquent wording!<br />
<br />
<b>SHARE IT</b><br />
Birth guides aren't just for parents and care providers. It is important to include your support team so they are informed of your wishes too. Share your plan with family and friends who will be intimately involved in the birth of your baby. Especially those who will be visiting shortly after. You want them to know that some of your wishes extend through your recovery. A birth guide is a great communication tool that allows everyone to be on the same page.
<br />
<br />
<b>CONSIDER A NEWBORN PROCEDURE GUIDE </b><br />
There is quite a bit of commotion after baby's arrival. If newborn procedures don't fit into your one page birth guide, don't hesitate to have a newborn procedure guide. Having an outline of preferences and procedures specific to this time is key to continuing the vibe you hope to establish for your birth.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Mommy Wars</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had a recent conversation with several college-aged women about
my identity as a mother and my identity as a woman. It has been over
10 years since I took on the role of being a mother. But I claimed the
title “mom” with a great deal of reluctance.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I became pregnant, I was in the middle of my career (or so I
thought) as a university administrator. My first encounter with the
liability of being pregnant and being a mom came during a conversation
with my female boss about taking on additional responsibilities in my
role as associate dean. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During the conversation, I revealed to her that I was pregnant. Her
response to me was that perhaps we should wait to see how my pregnancy
went before giving me additional responsibilities. If I had a difficult
pregnancy, then I would not be able to handle what she was proposing
I take on. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">That was my first skirmish in the mommy wars. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I soon decided that I needed to start looking to go to another university.
It became clear to me that I had hit the limits of my ability to move
up in my career in my current situation. I started a job search when
I was about 4 months pregnant. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The dean of students position became available at one of the universities
I had always wanted to work at, the University of Texas at Austin. I
applied without hesitation. When the time came for me to interview on
campus. I was 8 months pregnant. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I flew down to Austin believing that there was little chance I would
be hired given that I was so pregnant. I gave the 2 ½ day interview
my all and decided to let the chips fall where they may. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My second skirmish in the mommy wars came during the interview. I
sat in the dean of students’ office with the interim dean. This
was a man who was holding the job until a permanent replacement was
hired. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">He looked down at my belly and told me three times during the 45-minute
interview that this job was a 24/7 job. It was clear he didn’t feel
I was up to the job, considering my state.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My new boss felt otherwise and offered me the job. We moved to Texas.
My boss, all my peers (the other associate vice presidents) were all
men, who either had no children or who had older or grown children.
I was 12-18 years younger than all of them, and I had a newborn baby.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During the time I was there, I pumped for 2 years. I was nursing the
entire time I was there. I left work occasionally at 4 p.m. to nurse
him and returned to the office when I had a late program. I worked 60+
hours a week. I was on call for emergencies 24/7.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">How often I pumped, when I left the office and returned in the evenings,
the fact that Rob and the baby accompanied me to some social functions,
the fact that Rob stayed at home and we didn’t hire a babysitter while
I did the evening and weekend functions solo, were all topics of gossip
and conversation. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Daily skirmishes in the mommy wars.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I decided to leave that career, even after being offered the
top position in my field, vice president for student affairs, I received
a call from another woman, a generation older, who I had considered
an ally. She chastised me for thinking that another baby would get in
the way of my job.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I realized that my experiences in academia as a woman, a mom, had
kept me from claiming that title. Even as I wrote this website and my
book, <a href="http://www.parentingforsocialchange.com/about-book.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">Parenting
for Social Change,</span></a> I rarely used the word mom or mother. I always used
the gender neutral term “parent.” </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had internalized the belief that being a mom is not enough, or that
it is a liability. Moms are not given respect in our culture. Moms who
stay at home with their children are not valued. The unpaid work done
by mothers is not seen as contributing to the family in the same way
that paid work is. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had bought into those lies.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The real war that I was fighting wasn’t with those around me. They
only mirrored to me my insecurities. They mirrored the beliefs I had
internalized, that I was less when I was a mom.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even since I left my career, I have believed, at times, that I am
less valuable to my family because I don’t make the same amount of
money now as a consultant, author, or coach as I did as a dean of students.
I have believed that I am not as worthy. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And yet, in my heart, I know that the work I do in my role as a mother
with the children who share my life will have a greater impact that
any work I did at the university. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My willingness to parent, to mother, in a way that affirms their dignity
and rights will create more change than the many years I tried to create
social change in any of my university positions. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As a culture, we value the big actions, the titles, the positions
of power. We believe that is where the change is occurring. We believe
that is where we most influence those around us. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And yet, it is in our small day-to-day actions, the ways we live our
lives congruent with the values of mutual respect and trust that really
matters. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is the ways we hold ourselves accountable for our mistakes and
learning that really makes change over the long term. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is the ways in which we empower the children in our lives, as moms
and dads, that results in a better world.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The mommy wars are over for me. Mostly. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I still sometimes struggle with the identity. I still sometimes think
my value is reflected in the money I bring to the family. At least now
when those thoughts come into my head, I understand where they come
from. And, I let them pass on through to their next destination. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Children are the Mirror</span></span></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have often said to myself and others in the last 5 years that whatever
we are triggered by in others is usually a reflection of something we
are unwilling to face within ourselves. Of course, I wasn't the first
person to say this. Many spiritual traditions, such as Buddhism, espouse
such a belief.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Over the last several years I’ve struggled with my relationship
with money. This struggle has been on-going throughout my life, but
when I worked in my career as a university administrator, I was often
able to keep it at bay. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I left the “safe” world of the institution where I received
a regular paycheck, I’ve had to confront this struggle at a deeper
level. I’ve known that I am constrained by my fears and beliefs about
money. But for whatever reason, I haven’t been willing to look at
it until recently. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As the youngest child in my life has grown, he has been my mirror
for all the challenges I have about money and the decisions I made as
the person who used to be (and often still is) the primary income earner
in our family. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I made a decision to challenge myself to squarely face my fears and
what I believe about money within myself. When I go into that place
of being fearful, I usually feel it in my stomach. So when my stomach
starts to hurt and I tense up around some financial issue, this has
been my cue to take a pause and explore the beliefs and feelings I’ve
been avoiding. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One evening, he began collecting spare change and asked me to give
him some money to go get a toy. I asked him to give me a few minutes
to think as I began to feel that familiar pain in my stomach. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I lay on the bed and decided to invite the fear to come out of hiding.
I just said to myself things like "I need to let myself feel this"
and "I invite and welcome this feeling and fear into my consciousness."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It took about 10 minutes of embracing the feelings of fear and the
pain in my stomach for the answer to break through the surface.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">By inviting the fear in, I realized how I believe that I always make
bad decisions about money. Growing up I would hear my mother say this
about my father. I feared that I was like my father and couldn't handle
money.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The fear that whatever decision I made about money was a bad one was
one that constantly lived in my subconscious. Whether it was giving
him $10 to spend on a toy, or my decision to buy something to eat for
myself when I was out of the house and hungry, or my decision to add
a second bedroom onto our small house. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Every decision I made about money, no matter how trivial, was connected
to my belief that I always made bad decisions. I even remember how as
a teenager, I would question my own decisions believing that I was bound
to screw it up. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These decisions were not always about money. I’ve lived in this
confusion on a daily basis. I remember many times how I would ask for
clarity from others. I would call Rob on the phone or talk in person
with him about a decision I was trying to make.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I would question every decision I made no matter how small and he
would show up and be my mirror. He would mirror back to me my belief
that I could not do it right. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And in that fear and lie, I would be triggered. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It kept me from seeing what he was doing was just the desire of a
four year-old child wanting money to buy a toy. Instead I saw his actions
as a confirmation of how much I had screwed up in my life. That is quite
a burden for a four year-old to carry. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Realizing that I lived in fear of making a decision about money, because
I knew I would mess it up, was a big one for me. And, as soon as the
realization hit me, my stomach pain went away. I felt this weight lifted
off of me. I brought out from my subconscious this belief that undermined
me and which I used to punish myself. By bringing it out of hiding,
I released a lot of its hold on me.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This break-through allowed me to be present with him around his desire
to go buy a new toy in a way I had rarely experienced. I could make
a decision and not have it be clouded by my self-imposed confusion. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I could make a decision and not have it be tied to my underlying belief
that I always made bad decisions. And, because I made bad decisions,
I would pass this trait onto him. That's a whole lot of twisted crap
floating around!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your issue may not be money. But there may be ways in which the children
in your life reflect your fears. The situation you hate to enter into
with them, because it is rife with conflict, may be because you are
holding on to some deep beliefs (or lies) that keep you from being clear
and present. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What are the lies you are holding onto about yourself and how do those
manifest in your relationships with the children in your life?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It can be a challenge to go deeper and allow the fear to surface.
The fear may be rooted in some very traumatic experiences you had as
a child. The depth of that pain may make us even more afraid to allow
it come to the surface. You may need some support to allow yourself
to go there. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But, if we choose not to go deeper, how might we be impacting our
current relationships? How might our actions today be influenced by
what we choose not to look at in our past? </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When we avoid the pain and fear, it maintains it's hold on us. The
people in our lives, especially children, bring that fear and anxiety
to the surface. If we choose not to face it within ourselves, we can
easily project it on to them. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our lack of clarity, our confusion, our unwillingness to go deeper
and expand our awareness of ourselves, directly impacts our relationships
with children. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our work, then, is to face our fears and uncover the trigger. This
"work" is really not work in the traditional sense. It is
about love and acceptance of all the parts of our experiences, past
and present. It is an honoring of those things we have hidden away.
It is a love of what those experiences and feelings have to teach us. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ultimately, it is about loving ourselves unconditionally, just as
we hope to do with the children in our lives. </span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I am really interested in hearing more from all of you guys. I would like a lot more input and involvement from the TM:I community regarding parenting topics. So, I plan on asking a QOTD (question of the day) on the page and on the forum. I'm hoping to turn this into a growing community that everyone is involved in and has input in. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I'm hoping to eventually to have a whole website with all the info we can gather in one place and all you guys as contributors. I also would like to link to various other bloggers and sites and links in a categorized way. That way, it will be easy enough to have all the parenting info you could want in an easy to find place. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Is this something you guys would be interested in? Let me know why or why not and what you'd like to see and hear about and anything else that might help. You can comment here, on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/TheMomInformed" target="_blank">page</a>, or on the <a href="http://themominformed.weebly.com/forum-and-chatter.html#/" target="_blank">forum</a>. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-67605029121888849062012-09-18T18:46:00.001-05:002012-09-21T05:54:44.436-05:00When it comes to AP parenting, ignorance knows no bounds <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When it comes to AP parenting, ignorance knows no bounds </span><br />
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Usually, I am not a fan of labels, BUT, I can understand the appeal of a parenting label to help with finding a community and support in the journey. This label, however, comes with SO much misinformation and judgement that it is hard to "WANT" to be called AP. Like the assumptions that if you are "AP" it means your marriage is failing, your kid NEVER sleeps, you nurse until the kids are 20, your kid is attached to your side 24/7 (and by attached, they mean literally), your kid rearfaces until 18, your kid only eats Baby led organic veggies, they co-sleep until high school...and so on. Honestly, NONE of this is AP. Not one thing. In fact, none of that is "Crunchy" parenting. Hell, while we're at it, that's not even something "extreme" parents do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Let's look at some labels and what they ACTUALLY mean. We will start with AP, the most misunderstood of all...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Attachment parenting</b>,<strong> a phrase coined by </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">pediatrician</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">William Sears</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, is a parenting philosophy based on the principles of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">attachment theory</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> in </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">developmental psychology</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. According to attachment theory, the child forms a strong emotional bond with caregivers during childhood with lifelong consequences. Sensitive and emotionally available parenting helps the child to form a secure attachment style which fosters a child's socio-emotional development and well-being. In extreme and rare conditions, the child may not form an attachment at all and may suffer from </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">reactive attachment disorder</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Principles of attachment parenting aim to increase development of a child's secure attachment and decrease insecure attachment.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>When mothers are taught to increase their sensitivity to an infant's needs and signals, this increases the development of the child's attachment security. Sears's specific techniques of attachment parenting remain under study.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Per Dr. Sears' theory of attachment parenting (AP), proponents such as the API attempt to foster a secure bond with their children by promoting eight principles which are identified as goals for parents to strive for. These eight principles are:</strong></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Preparation for Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Feed with Love and Respect</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Respond with Sensitivity</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Use Nurturing Touch</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Ensure Safe Sleep, Physically and Emotionally</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Provide Consistent Loving Care</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Practice Positive Discipline</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Strive for Balance in Personal and Family Life</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>These values are interpreted in a variety of ways. Many attachment parents also choose to live a natural family living (NFL) lifestyle, such as natural childbirth, home birth, stay-at-home parenting, co-sleeping, breastfeeding, babywearing, homeschooling, unschooling, the anti-circumcision movement, natural health, cooperative movements, paleolithic lifestyle, naturism and support of organic and local foods.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>However, Dr. Sears does not require a parent to strictly follow any set of rules, instead encouraging parents to be creative in responding to their child's needs. Attachment parenting, outside the guise of Dr. Sears, focuses on responses that support secure attachments</strong>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hmmm...I don't don't see any of the misguided attitudes listed up there. It doesn't say AP parents need to breastfeed, co-sleep forever, or cloth diaper or wear their kid. That's odd because there are SO many people that say you have to before you can be AP and SO many people that claim they HATE AP parents and what they are. Turns out, they hate themselves, because MOST parents fall under AP if you look at the principles alone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Crunchy parenting is really what Silky people dislike, they just confuse the two since a lot of AP parents do crunchy things. <b>A crunchy parent, DOES believe in: </b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Natural childbirth and/or home birth</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No infant circumcision</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Breastfeeding according to WHO recommendations and using baby-led weaning</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Baby-led solids</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cloth diapering</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reusable menstrual products</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fertility Awareness Method for birth control and conception</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Co-sleeping (bed sharing)</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Baby wearing (slings etc.)</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Buying organic and local foods</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vegetarianism/Veganism</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rejection of “Western medicine” in favor of homeopathy, herbs, naturopathy, chiropractic, etc.</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not vaccinating or using an alternative vaccination schedule</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Homeschooling</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gentle Discipline</span></b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See...there is a difference. AP and Crunchy are NOT the same thing. You cannot lump them together. So, it is NOT AP you loathe. You might loathe Crunchy parenting.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another label is Silky. A Silky parent is polar opposite of Crunchy. If Crunchy does it, Silky doesn't and vice versa. <b>Silky parents:</b></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Formula Feed</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Induce</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Get Epidurals</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Put baby in its own bed/room day 1</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Use CIO</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Put baby in PCD(Plastic Containment Devices)</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Feed baby cereal early plus jarred baby food</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Vaccinate on time and fully</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Spank</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Disposable Diapers</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Circumcise</b></span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You get the picture.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly is <b>Mainstream parenting...they enjoy a mix of all the styles</b>. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> When you start labeling and griping and throwing fits and hurling insults at people, at least get it right. Don't accuse everyone of being AP when they are really Crunchy, or call a Silky a Mainstream mom. Seriously...all the AP bashing is just getting ridiculous and causing people to avoid it like the plague. And it's not even their fault. </span></div>

And poor dad that never gets to see his daughter awake at night because you put her to bed at 7:30 so you can have romantic single people supper...and go on childless couple trips. I mean...that just sounds </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">über fun. NOT! I actually enjoy my kid. He also managed to sleep ALL. NIGHT. LONG. from 12 weeks old, in my bed, even when I wasn't in it. OH EM GEE!!!! How on earth did I accomplish that feat without throwing my kid in the crib in another room and using St. Sleeps A Lots book? And really, 12 hours a night? No baby needs to sleep like that. And not a lot of adults can pull that off. Not without an Ambien. Maybe that's how you got by...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is a picture of a mother desperately trying to feed her child with something that should be free and plentiful. Something that the majority of people in America take for granted. Breastmilk. In America, the majority of women that give birth are well fed, healthy and not lacking basic needs. Another thing they have are options. They have the option of nursing their child with full, free flowing milk from their breasts. They have the option of using donor milk from another mother with full, free flowing milk from her breasts. They even have the option of choosing to use a man made concoction, breast milk substitute in breast substitute bottles. Formula and bottles intended to replace moms breast when mom is not able to provide/produce milk of her own. These are options that most of us have here. You would think that since most of us have FREE, plentiful and healthy milk in our breasts after delivery that would be the first option and that the majority would choose that. However, that is NOT the case. I hardly ever see a lady here choose to nurse. They always just go for the bottle because its "easier", because it isn't "gross", because it is "just the same". And that is fine, really. You have that choice. You have that option. You have the ability to get to choose. Sure, there are valid reasons why you cannot choose to nurse and for that we are all thankful for formula. But, this lady in the picture, she doesn't get to have options. She nurses. Her child isn't thriving, he is barely surviving. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-large;">So now, for my point, I am not saying you have to nurse, that formula is evil or anything judgmental against anyone. What I am saying is that I would like for everyone to at least realize how much you have, how privileged you are, how lucky you are that you even had a chance to choose how to feed your kid and even if nursing was not an option, you have the option of donor milk or formula in your arsenal. You weren't forced to starve while trying to nurse your equally starved baby. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-large;">When you look at this picture, your first reaction should be sadness, horror and pity. It should NEVER be sarcasm, puns and derogatory statements. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-large;">When you see this picture, your first reaction should not be to report. It should not be thought of as nasty, gross or sickening.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-large;">NO nursing mom should be thought of this way. Not one with free flowing milk and certainly not one as desperate as the one above. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-large;">STOP reporting them. What the fuck is the matter with you that reporting this picture makes any kind of sense? The picture should cause you to think, to feel sad, to want to do something to help. If it makes you feel guilty, then perhaps your subconscious is trying to tell you something. Maybe you should rethink your life and fix that. Reporting the picture, however, is ridiculous. </span><br />

Most everyone that knows anything about wearing a baby knows about Bjorns or Snuglis. Those are NOT good for baby's hips or spine. So, I want to show you some carriers that aren't as well known, but, are excellent for baby. Moby Wrap and Ergo are good carriers, but, again...very well known. I am hoping with this post to introduce you to a world of carriers you may not have known to exist.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Did you ever find yourself talking harshly with your child and feel like there has to be a better way to talk to them? Do you want to practice a more gentle and respectful parenting?Well, here's your handbook...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In this book, <a href="http://sarahmaclaughlin.com/theauthor.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sarah MacLaughlin</span></a> has chapters dedicated to phrases to avoid and provides alternate wording to use instead. She has real life stories and situations to convey the message in an easy to follow and use way. At the end of different sections and points, she also provides you with a list of books you can read to your kids in order to help them out with communication as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> You will learn how to effectively speak with children to set limits, while maintaining respect for the child. You'll learn why threats, labels and confusing language can cause issues and what to say and do to avoid the pitfalls. There is SO much info packed into one tiny book. A very thorough arrangement of tips and more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> All in all, this is an excellent resource it have in your arsenal if you have a small child. In fact, it might be a good idea to have anyone around your kid to read this book. Parents, teachers, grandparents, caregivers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The back of the book also has a nice list of books for parents to read as well, so, between that and the kids books listed...you should be set for a long while on learning for both you and your child. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> One statement I truly despise is one that contains the words: "kids today" and lump them all into some imaginary box where they apparently all whine, moan, act up, feel entitled, are without manners and so on</span>...<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am utterly sick to death of hearing this phrase. If you say you don't spank, then, apparently that means you do nothing in the way of discipline and allow your child carte blanche to do as he/she please with no consequences, redirection...anything. If you bring up anything about kids, there will ALWAYS be that one person, you know who I am talking about...that one that says: "Kids today are out of control and awful, they have no manners, no discipline and are so rude and wild. They all act entitled." </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I've got news for you person..."kids today" are no more crazy and wild than yesterday, last year, or a hundred years ago. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Um, first of all, this isn't a problem with "kids today". It is a kid behavior paired with adult perception issue. Not to mention, this has been going on since the beginning of time. Seriously.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />

They tyrannised over the paidagogoi and schoolmasters."</span></div>

<b>So, you see, "kids today" are exactly how they have ALWAYS been and how they will forever be. This isn't new or odd or weird or different. This is how it is. That saying isn't an excuse to be rude to kids and teens or to belittle them or to have no hope. It is a sign that YOU are the one perceiving their behavior through prejudiced eyes and closed mind. Open your heart and your eyes and realize that "kids today" may in fact be a product of "parents today" that were "kids today" at one time. </b></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seriously, this book is so unlike the average books you will find touted by friends and family. In fact, the first thing you encounter upon reading this book is a poem about holding your baby all the time...</span></div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">They told me babies should not be held:</div><div style="text-align: center;">It would spoil them and make them cry.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wished to do what is best for them,</div><div style="text-align: center;">And the years went swiftly by.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now empty are my yearning arms;</div><div style="text-align: center;">No more that thrill sublime.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If I had my babies back again,</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd hold them all the time!</div><div style="text-align: center;">~Unknown Mama</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See? How many books do you see advocating holding babies instead of training them? </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next up is an introduction to the book and its ideas and values along with explaining how it's set up. There is also an introduction to the authors. Once the "nice to meet you's" and "how do you do's" are out of the way, the book moves into: BIRTH!!! Pushing, prepping, locations and more...it goes over many options and strategies. They cover a LOT of info and leave out the scare tactics. From birth, it moves fluidly into info on things involving the baby, like: eye drops, cord clamping, skin to skin and so on. After each chapter, they even provide you with a list of various other books to check into for even more in-depth learning. Each chapter also includes quotes from real moms, from the authors and helpful info from doctors and experts. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Would you believe it also includes info on vaccines, circumcision, co-sleeping/bed-sharing, CIO, bathing, baby wearing, baby led solids, elimination communication and cloth diapering...? See what I mean about being different?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I should also add that while it IS geared toward the more natural side of parenting, it does cover the other side a little as well and gives options and info. Which wasn't necessary as they are providing info for this side of things where there aren't as many informational books. IF you are truly wanting other info, you can read one of the million usual books on the book store shelf. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This would make a GREAT gift for an expecting mom. If you know one, do her a favor and get her this book and hope she chooses to read this over the popular ones she is sure to be bombarded with. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I happen to have "liked" many parenting, breast feeding and birth pages on Facebook. One thing I have noticed about ALL of them is that despite posting daily about normal behavior in babies, especially breastfed ones, about how to successfully breastfeed, and more, at least once a day and sometimes as much as every hour a mom asks the page a question that baffles me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"My baby wants to eat every hour or two at night and I need sleep. Why is she doing this and how can I stop it"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"My baby is using me as a pacifier. What can I do?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"My baby nurses once a day and I give him LOTS of solids and water and juice and bottles of formula while I am at work. My supply seems to be dwindling, how can I get it back up?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"My baby is 2 days old and not acting satisfied after nursing, so, I let him nurse for a minute and then give him a bottle of formula. How can I get him to nurse more?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are just some of the questions I have seen and they all can let me know a few things about modern society that help me to know exactly why hardly anyone breastfeeds or why they quit early if they do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We are under the impression that a baby should eat quickly and remain satisfied for hours after a feed(like the modern formula fed counterpart), we believe that babies should go to sleep immediately once placed in a crib and should sleep soundly for most of the night(8 hours is good, but 12 hours is best), we believe that sucking beyond feeding and for comfort is for pacifiers only because breast aren't pacifiers(even though pacifiers ARE breast substitutes for when the breast isn't available to be suckled), we are under the impression that breastmilk isn't supply and demand and should turn on and off like like a faucet(even doctors and nurses don't seem to get this one).....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, you add in the fact that "breastfeeding is a private thing reserved for mom and baby alone and hidden from view of the world.", that daddies "absolutely CANNOT ever, ever bond with baby unless he gets to bottle feed at least a million times.", that " breasts are sexual ONLY and only for your husband to touch because a baby touching them is child porn and exposing he child to sex.", that "breastfeeding is GROSS and that formula is WAY easier and full of SO MANY vitamins and minerals that breastmilk doesn't have"., and "everyone and their mom and sister and grandma and best friends and dog had formula and are JUST FINE even though they all have breast cancer, hypertension, strokes, diabetes, asthma....and so on." .....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every ad you see has a bottle fed baby, every show you watch has a bottle fed baby, every family you see in town is bottle feeding their baby in public, every doll you own has a bottle, every book you read has a bottle fed baby...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your mom keeps telling you that baby isn't satisfied if he wants to eat every 2 hours and you should formula feed, your grandma thinks it's gross and tells you to formula feed, your hubby doesn't want you to nurse in front of ANYONE and wants you to formula feed, the doc thinks baby is a little lighter than average and wants you to formula feed, your best friends baby was formula fed and slept all night from day one(she also allowed baby to scream until it passed out from day one)...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So...If you have believed these things, saw these things, heard these things and were told these things....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's no wonder we all quit. How could you not? It's just failure waiting to happen and IF, IF you happened to nurse beyond the first day, week, month or year...you deserve a standing ovation. Think of everything you overcame. The obstacles are MANY. The help is few.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How can we counteract ALL this that is SO against breastfeeding? Can you think of some ways?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Extended Rear Facing, meaning longer than one year old IS safer (<a href="http://themominformed.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-much-proof-do-you-need-and-how-much.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">http://themominformed.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-much-proof-do-you-need-and-how-much.html</span></a>)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As of right now, the law here in the US states that you must keep your child rear facing until at LEAST One year old AND 20lbs. It does not say that you cannot rear face past One and past 20lbs. There is NO law that says they HAVE to turn forward at age one or 20lbs. That means the at One year old AND 20lbs, you child is at the BARE MINIMUM age and weight that they can be turned, it in no way means they must be turned. In fact, the AAP says that it is best if you can keep them until age 2 at the very least. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite this, I still see TOO many parents turning kids early, or at one because they think it is the law, or because they think their kid under age one is "too long"/"too big" to rear face any longer. So, I wanted to create this posting to show OLDER and BIGGER kids rear facing and prove to the world that MOST kids CAN comfortably rear face way longer than everyone seems to think.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you would like to add your child or know someone that would like to add theirs, please send the pictures and all info about the child's height, torso length, weight, age and carseat make/model/brand if possible to <a href="mailto:themominformed@gmail.com" target="_blank">themominformed@gmail.com</a> . </span><br />
