This may not make sense ....

But I was thinging the other day, why dont we trust ourselves and our bodues anymore..like wiht birth, breast feeding and being a parent in general?

Why do we "allow" Certain books and peole make us feel like we are not doing the right thing...especailly books written by people who dont have children, and no emotional connection to your child........they dont care how you feel afterward or during "training" etc they just want the money?

ALso why do put so much stress on sleep? Like we are going to spoil our babies by loving them? I never understood the whole CIO or CC when as an adult you can be cuddled to sleep and its perfectly ok yet for a baby to be loved and cuddled it is seen as spoiling or making a rod for your back.


Spose my rambling is why we cant trust our hearts and bodies to be the best parent and do the things that feel right and not worry about some crazy routine we have read in a abook by some woamn who clearly has no understanding of the humnan brain.


I have posted it in the gentle parenting section cause i beleive you have to do whats right as long as it is an educated descion...this isnt a thred about our parenting ways just a question as to why we go against all instincts and what our heart and body is telling us just cause of a book? Why are our instincts burried and why dont we listen to them?

Sorry hope you kinda get what I am saying...I am not very good at being smart lol
