Since having DS, MIL has treated me to a wealth of parenting gems tha are presented to me as indisputable facts, to be ignored at my peril. They make me laugh as they are so random and swing wildly from one school of parenting to the next. a few examples.
Baby must stay in arms for sleeps till 6 months, then left to CIO in cot as soon as the six months are up (shock to the system much?)
Television is fine. Toys that light up are not.
Jars of food are the work of the devil. Cow & Gate, only Cow & Gate, in times of emergency. The new-style pouches are the devil in organic clothing, they haven't got enough nutritional research behind them.
Don't sing to baby. It will delay their speech. Talk only
Oh I've probably outed myself anyway!
Anyone else have this?
