Pampers toddler development

I received this email, usually about developmental stages, weaning etc from pampers which just made me Angry

"Many little girls, during their third year of life, start to display nurturing behaviours in their play activities, and like to mimic their mother's movements and responses. Boys, on the other hand, will gradually start to test out the more rough-and-tumble, loud and energetic aspects of the male role"

But many of them do end up falling into this pattern whether we like it or not. I don't think shooting the messenger makes the message invalid.

how about they will start copying people, ds1 does a very good impersonation of me when reading a book, to ds2. Obviously not actual reading more look an elephant , who's that lovely baby in the mirror thing.
E mailo them back asking for reasearch study which backs this

I'm horrified too, t is so insiduous. My DD mimics her father as much as me and DS is sometimes my little clone. DS is also far more nurturing and plays with dolls much more than DD did.

If I read and believed that shit maybe I'd think there was something wrong with them Angry

Yes, I think that's my concern that it is inevitable and a skill that should be learnt, like walking or talking.

I will ask for the research, good idea. Being banned from the pampers parenting site would improve my MN credentials no doubt!

I got a email from them around the time of the royal wedding.

The basic gist was "all baby girls dream of being princesses. Don't wake them up when they wee by using our nappies."

The picture was of a baby of around 9 months old. HTF was that baby meant to even know what a princess is? IMO babies of that age must dream of giant boobs, bananas and chewing things. Not gender roles.
