Pressures on parents

[rattlinbog]

I often want to ask the most well-adjusted people I know whether their parents did the following:

• co-sleeping
• never sleep training
• "golden hour"
• baby-wearing
• gentle parenting
• "natural birth"
• breastfeeding

FWIW I did breastfeed but find the pressure on parents (mums)today a bit mad. I would bet that a lot of it would be down to their parents' love and care for them, rather than the things above.

Would be interested in thoughts!

Haha just me then.!

Did co-sleeping because it was the only way to get some sleep
Did baby-wearing because it was practical
Did breast feeding because I could (and it was free)!
Did natural birth but only because that's the way it turned out.
Very much a pragmatist!
