To ask what you naively swore you wouldn't do when raising your child - but ended up doing?

[m4rdybum]

Lighthearted really, but curious

When pregnant, we bought a new born bottle set which had a dummy included. Silly old me said "oh well we'll have it for emergencies but I really don't think we'll use it - they're awful don't you know".

DD is now 13 days old and has had her dummy from the first night Because it settles her and gives mummy and daddy a bit of quiet.

Dummy, and sitting with the hoover on for 3 hours per night..between the hours of 7.05 and 9.15. Which I still find bizarre, she was more accurate than our clock!.....this was me till I found a blue tooth speaker and white noise app.

No breastfeeding- terrible pregnancy and desp to get my body back - EBF 5 months in
No bed sharing -my ass is currently in co-sleeper while she starfishes
No screens - my 5 month old can tell the difference between baby sensory videos on YouTube and I’m convinced she is purposefully hitting the skip ad button.
No junk food ever - not really on solids but so far has had a chomp at spare ribs from Chinese, a smelly jar thing and a cheese burger. All vegetables have been rejected point blank. Her head swivels faster than the dog when she hears a wrapper.
A bed time routine of bath and book - often just gets a baby wipe
Will only dress nicely in traditional clothes- gets chucked in what ever tat comes to hand
Oh and no dummies - done some mad 5 minute rule thing For about 2 weeks since may as well be glued in place.

Oh and I also have a nephew with an accent who’s sister where’s diapers, loves cotton candy rides in an elevator, drinks juice boxes and throws himself on the floor screaming for candy!

*wears and prob many more but well I came to bed at 9pm and still not sleeping

Love these threads they're hilarious. Mine were:
No dummies - lasted a few weeks, after that the things didn't come out of his mouth for the next four years.
No fruit juice only milk and water - didn't last long and the last time he drank water was about 10 years ago.
No sweets/chocolate - I did stick to this for about a year but since then he's been a total sugar junkie, he'd live on sweets if he could.
No jars only home cooked food - spent ages making stupid purées with my Annabelle Carmel blender and he hated them. Everything he ate came out of a jar after that.
