I learn new things about parenting by looking at parenting fails. While some aspects of parenting are intuitive, there are about a million things that you need to learn about child-rearing before you actually have a baby. For instance, I was completely ignorant about bed-sharing and safe sleep until I started willingly exposing myself to all of this discourse within mommy Facebook groups. I can't imagine wanting to sleep in the same bed as your baby every night. I move so much in my sleep that I know I would be a lethal agent. Also, don't you want some time alone from your baby? The only time that your baby is not literally attached to your hip is when you're in the realm of dreams. Even when these crunchy parents put their kids in cribs, they increase the likelihood that their babies get SIDS in a different way! It's important to be educated about new standards of safety, and there's no better way to learn what not to do than to look through some parenting fails.

    Product - Group member Yesterday at 9:49 AM - 8 Ladies I desperately need your help. My husband has had debilitating back pain for the past few years. It comes randomly (during a light workout, for example) and last days or weeks before it finally works itself out. We've tried a new mattress, tried a chiropractor in DC, lighter workouts, etc but he can't seem to prevent them. We'd like to approach it differently and try to understand what's causing it (if there is a reason), but don't know where

    Font - My son started this at 3.5 yrs old. There's definitely something neurological going on. We found out our son is MTHFR heterozygous and COMT mutation. He has to take methylfolate and we have been helping his body to detox as his mutation has affected his ability to detox by 60%. We also cut out gluten, dyes, seed oils and eggs and his behavior has much improved 28m Like Reply

    Pink - Just wanted to share for Christian parents. I was out shopping today and saw a Barbie that promotes yoga and takes the child through guided meditation. You push a button and the doll walks the child through it. The demonic agenda against our children is real. This is being marketed as self-care. Gr WAR & LIGHTS 30 SOUNDS!

    Font - X I have NO basis or research in saying this, but just a thought.. As the epidural contains different addictive drugs within it, that go from mom to baby, do you think there's a possibility that taking the epidural could cause the child to have the type of personality later in life that leans into different "addictions" and "feel good highs"?.. such as drugs, food addiction, spending large amounts of money, technology addiction, or sex addiction. I feel like these things are SO prevalent

    Font - HI! I'm one week post partum and had my mostly unassisted vbac birth at home. I had experienced some tearing, but the tears went "up" instead of perineum. So there was quite the laceration, sort of inside my labia minora, and then the opposite side was something I shouldn't have looked at day one Ⓒ. My labias of all the kinds are intact. The location of tear is hard to describe. But things look a lot better now, I never got checked out, I have just been using seaweed every day, changing w

Her nose turns red and her feet and hands obviously get cold, but she seems to love it. I always open the door and encourage

I have met the mom and we agreed that we would facilitate the relationship because they are very focused academically and within their sports and encourage one another to be really good people. We also really do think they are a healthy & sweet couple. Their conversation is very wholesome & they are very mature for their age. I had him come over an

    Font - HAPPY BIRTHDA March 2022 Babies Group member 1h When my husband and I got married in 2017, I told him when we have kids (we planned on 2) that I don't want their bdays to be anywhere near my bday! All the money he saves to spend on a bday, I want it to be mine! Hubby said that's fine and that he doesn't care if our kids are born near his bday. His is sept. 17th. Well, we ended up having a sept. 19th 2020 baby. My bday is on March 14th (this tuesday) and guess what! Our TWIN girls bday is
