I'm going to rant for a second :/

I wish more people would take the time and research before they just go ahead and make all these decisions that affect their children.

I don't understand why people feel the need that they HAVE to start solids early because their kid is 'eating too much'. Babies eat. They eat a lot. They have growth spurts. They grow. It doesn't mean that your child is ready for solids. What they are ready for is more breast milk/formula. They may not even need more, they may just be sucking for comfort and the fact that you're sticking it in their face all the time.

I don't understand why people feel the need that they HAVE to CIO. First off, no you don't. It doesn't matter what the case is, they DON'T need to learn to self soothe. No baby needs to learn that. Maybe when they are like 3+ years old, then sure. I understand not CIOing doesn't work for every family, but even then you don't have to resort to it. It's called the ferber method. Infants do not have the knowledge that you are just in the other room. For all they know you could have left them and never be coming back. It's spending 1 minute ever 5-10 minutes just reminding your child that you're still there and you love them. I don't see what is so hard about that.

I also wish people would educate themselves more about breast feeding. I wish everyone would at least TRY to do it. I don't expect every mother to be able to, it's not easy and a lot of times it's best that the child is on formula. But breast milk is better than formula. Period. I'm not saying it's the devils piss or anything. I understand breast feeding isn't for every mother, and if the mother is frustrated with it I believe that the baby does sense it and it's probably best to formula feed. But that doesn't mean the actual formula is 'just as good' as breast milk. The fact you are feeding your kid formula is just as good as feeding your child breast milk because your child is not starving.

There are so many things I could get into, but I'm just gonna stick with this. These are probably what I'm most passionate about.

I'm not judging anyone, I just wish more research was put into parents making decisions.
