nutrition? Moms who think they know it all either because they friggin Googled something or their "holier than thou" pediatrician recommended it....lord save us all....
 
I am now finding as a new mom that people just seem to fall in line when it comes to our children's care. Well I for one am not that type. Question authority and know your rights. Especially when it comes to what you put in your child's little system.
 
agreed...everyone has different parenting skills and I think its awful some women bash women because its not done the same way they do it.
 
I have never discussed religion with my pediatrician so I am unsure of his level of holiness. He does have some pretty good advice that I'm willing to share to save someone else a co-pay or a bill in general.
 
I always say go with your gut instincts. For example, my son's pediatrician told me no solid foods before 4 months, but my son was eating every hour and screaming in hunger after every feeding at 2 months. I would give him formula until he spit a lot of it up and still he would scream in hunger even though his belly was full. I finally broke down and gave him rice cereal mixed with formula against doctor's recommendation, and I didn't feel guilty about it. It satisfied his hunger and he suffered no ill effects from it.
