It always makes me laugh when people jump on bandwagons. It drives me nuts when I hear someone talking about something that they didn't look up them selves. When they bash on something just because they heard some one else talking negatively about it. You can tell almost every time when some one is just repeating an opinion or they actually formed there own thoughts.
It makes me laugh even harder when there is something that is just a rephrased description. Especially when the thing that is rephrased is accepted but, the other is condemned.
Monthly I get a baby magazine. I love it, its my soak in the tub & read day every time it shows up! But, this months made me laugh.
There is a great article called you new parent survival guide. It's hilarious. Why you might ask. Its pretty much Babywise in a new package. Babywise, the books that so many bash, has the same steps. Even the same wordage. It makes me laugh so hard!
Basically the aritcle breaks down the first few weeks/months of a babies life. First being focus on feeding. Keeping a log of feeding, and diaper changes so you can monitor how much the baby is getting. Then it talks about give the baby a bottle around 2-4 weeks for the first time. It also talks about learning your babies cries, starting with check if its feeding time, then if the diaper needs changed, then if the baby is uncomfortable, finally ending with if everything is okay to let the baby fuss it out. Then getting into a routine with feedings, play and sleep.
Welcome ladies and gentleman to babywise. Now I know that these aren't new ideas, or a new process of doing something. Babywise wasn't the first nor (obviously) the last of the same idea. I just think its totally funny how so many can bash on it with out know what it really is, but read a different version of the same ideas and accept it with out batting an eye.
Just makes me laugh....
