IF you want your child handled a certain way it should be done. I just freaked out finding out my brother let Delaney sit in the FRONT seat from church to the ice creme shop. Now I know its a one minute drive but alot can happen in one minute and I made it very aware. There would not be car seat rules if they were not necessary but fact is SOME people just do not get it! Stick to your guns...people will respect you MOMMY wishes :) As for choking, why do we all have that horrible fear? I think its in bred within us!

Chad's mom watches her during the day (at least 10 hours) and usually only gives her foods that I've already tried with her. <BR/><BR/>I originally felt the same way about peanuts and peanut butter as you, but my mom has been watching her on Saturdays while I work, and I found out that she had been giving her peanut butter sandwiches for lunch and I freaked. But of course everything was fine, and Hal loves peanut butter now.<BR/><BR/>When someone else watches her that may not know her schedule, I just lay it out for them that she will behave better for them if she keeps to the nap times and foods that she's used to and just will be an overall happier baby.<BR/> <BR/>A lot of our family have said (behind my back) that I have been overprotective and unnecessarily cautious with her, but I think that as long as we're doing what we think is best, nobody should judge. Yeah I may change if we have another baby and be more laid back, but then right now would be my only chance to do things my way, so let me do it! (can you tell I've struggled with the same feelings?!)<BR/><BR/>Hang in there! Holli's right, they'll get over it.<BR/>Laurie (Haleigh's Mama)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816293939250428561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14178857.post-1142957662045226702006-03-21T11:14:00.000-05:002006-03-21T11:14:00.000-05:00I got so much grief from certain family members an...I got so much grief from certain family members and friends because I had Faith on a diet comprised of baby food I made from organic foods and veggies.. she really didn't eat meat - she got her protein from tahini, egg yolk and tofu.. and no sweets. I just put it all off on me whenever people tried to break my rules - "look, I'm a crazy new mommy - humor me.. I put a lot of work into her diet and maybe it will pass with time, but let me be the one to make that choice." I'm still not a big fan of sweets - and if my family questions me - I just point them to my niece, who is 5, a major sweets lover and has already had 3 root canals.<BR/><BR/>If you don't look out for your child's best interests, who will?<BR/><BR/>BTW - choking was my "thing" I flipped out over constantly.. and Faith learned how to fake choke. That was SO MUCH FUN!! NOT.<BR/><BR/>Figure out what is best for you all.. everyone else will get over it.hollibobollihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620733762809711175noreply@blogger.com
