The Lazy Person's Guide to Gentle Parenting

[Winter]

Definitely NOT bad mummy - we just need a name for it ...Natural Toilet Training - there you go Boomba! A brand new style of gentle parenting!

Or should that be Au Naturel ?

honestly, i think the best one has already been mentioned...boob to bed.

biggest load of bollocks fed to me by my visiting MACH nurse when DD was all of 8 days old that my daughter needed (at her age ) to 'play' before sleeping...i mean, seriously, did she want me to stick DD in the sandpit with a plastic shovel and bucket??!

the only issue i had with feed to sleep was other people telling me not to. DD did, she is a great sleeper and has no issue with going to sleep on her own...so wish i could go to that nurse i tell ya what LOL!

Exactly!

I can't be arsed to explain why I can hit and DS can't, so don't smack.

LOL YES!

Breastfeeding: solves everything, stops crying, causes sleep, great excuse to say "can you do xyz, i need to top her up...", pop boob out and go! Too cheap to buy formula!
Cloth: so i can avoid the shops as much as possible
Co-sleeping: too lazy to keep trying to put her back in the cot and have her whinge
'Real' food. Because I'm too cheap to but jars and by 7 months was too lazy to blend/puree/mash! lol
No-cry house. No set bedtime: because, seriously, who wants to put a baby down too early and hear them cry for ages?
One of us showers/bathes with Jazz: saves time, saves water.

Have you tasted those jars of baby "food"?? Urgh! I had one as an emergency backup and had a taste, seriously, they taste foul. The one I tried was organic & all natural but I know that I couldn't put my 100% vegie mix in a jar and leave it on the shelf and expect it to still be good in a week let alone longer so not exactly 100% natural!

we're planning on doing au natural toilet training this summer with ds. in other words, let him run around naked all day on the deck and lawn

See Boomba, you've started a trend with ANTT!!!

[boomba]

I had to giggle at that... I could just imagine people in the sandpits with their newborn LOL.

I love the ANTT... thats what we are going to do this summer! Well hoping to anyway hehe

With the feeding to sleep... I cant help that my baby falls asleep when feeding.... I certainly am not going to wake him up for doing it either!
