Cha-Ching 🙂
Please note that these are NOT my confessions. I’ll let you know which ones I’m guilty of. I read these confessions on Baby Center and was mad at just a couple. By the way, Ziana aka Baby Z says “HI!”
1. Baby sleeping on tummy since week one. I’m guilty of this, but she started when she was about 4 weeks old and she could turn her head right and left. First week they can’t do that and can suffocate, so this mother is an idiot.
2. Never do tummy time. Tummy time is important for the baby to strengthen their neck an arm muscles tour just doing them a disservice. Baby Z was holding her head up high since she was 5 weeks.
3. This one is pretty funny. This mother is telling people she has tried giving her baby the bottle and they won’t take it. The thing is she hasn’t even tried giving her the bottle because she doesn’t want to go back to work, haha. Sneaky.
4. When your Breastfeeding it’s important to eat right and stay away from stuff like alcohol, soda and coffee. Well this mother apparently could care less and has been drinking soda and coffee. Mother-of-the-freaking-year!
5. When the pacifier aka “bobo” falls on the floor you’re suppose to clean it under water NOT clean it off with your own mouth, which is disgusting and give it to your baby! FYI
6. There are children out there who only wear bibs and diapers. No clothing. Poor kid, haha.
7. Some mothers will have their baby watch television all day. I can’t do that! I don’t want Baby Z to get use to it.
8. Something all parents are guilty of at times is spoiling their baby. Baby Z is not spoiled at all! For now at least!
9. Nursing your baby so they can sleep. I don’t know if this is okay or bad, but it was a confession.
Lastly, are you ready!?
10. Cursing at your baby in a happy voice with a smile, “Go the fuck to sleep sweetie,” “What the fuck are you whining for?” I can’t do that! I didn’t know which emotion to express when I read this. Would you?
Thanks for all the hits!!! 🙂

Oct 8, 2012 at 9:33 pmYou must be a first time mom. Lets go through your list one by one and explain how things really are shall we.
1. Pediatricians used to tell parents to put their babies to sleep on their tummys…if it were a suffocation hazard like you seem to think it is they wouldn’t have recommended it even then.
2. Tummy time is good for them IF THEY LIKE IT it’s not doing any good if they just lay there and scream nonstop.
3. Her baby her choice.
4. Just because someone drinks soda/coffee doesn’t make them a bad mother. Im willing to bet whoever she is drinks it in moderation and does it so she can function on 2hrs of sleep. And she most likely has more than one kid demanding her attention.
5. Actually a “bobo” is supposed to be cleaned like a bottle nipple…sterilized in boiling water or run through the dishwasher. But us disgusting mom’s figure if mom spit can take the grease off a driveway it can probably clean a pacifier.
6. Sometimes its just too hot to get dressed. Unfortunately as adults we have to, but babies don’t, let em lay around in a diaper. For that matter there are babies that have sensory issues and scream and cry when you dress them, my 2nd child was that way, its easier to just leave baby naked.
7. A little TV isn’t going to hurt em.
8. If i want to spoil my kid its my business.
9. I nurse my son to sleep. Im a human pacifier. Again, my baby my business. And how can baby getting breastmilk be bad?
10. I cuss. Im an adult and have that right. My child will hear it his entire life. Why bother censor myself now?

Oct 8, 2012 at 9:41 pmWhat people aren’t inserts mains is that I don’t say they were all unfit of they did these. I clearly showed which ones I was against. I didn’t say your child being in a diaper all day made one a bad mother nor said Breastfeeding to sleep was bad. What I find horrible is sinking soda and coffee. Also noted the dangers of the baby sleepIng on their stomachs. As I noted my daughter slept on her stomach when she was a few weeks old- as soon as she was able to turn her head. I think it’s dangerous for them to not be able to turn their heads an put them on their stomachs.

Oct 8, 2012 at 9:49 pmYou are obviously deeming them unfit in some manner is you went out of your way to create a blog about it. You are also of the impression that your little daughter is better than those babies that you are referring to which is absolutely sad because every develops at their own pace. So weather or not our babies are up to par with yours, we love them all the same and look forward to them reaching each and every milestone at their own pace 🙂
