After all the complaints about minding their own business, are you now...

i tend not to say oh i would do this or you should do it like this but more like if people tell me something about their LO their worried about or cant seem to grasp i'd say well i tried this and this and this worked but this didnt so maby try those and see if it works.

That way your not pushing it onto people but at the same time your helping them and not critisizing

When it comes to something like overheating I would, or obvious danger like a walker near steps because I couldn't personally handle the guilt if something happened and I hadn't. If I do, and they choose differently, it is nothing I haven't done. On general parenting choices, I just keep my views generally to myself now.

Usually what ever im thinking just slips out, So i wouldnt intentionally air my views, More by accident like going "bloody hell this house is hot" Rather than "is the house to hot for baby" kind of think IYGWIM.

I say something, cant help it. Some think I'm a bitch, but I will say something if I feel the child's well being is in jeopardy at all.

As others have said, if I thought a baby was actually in serious danger I think it would be anyone's duty to say something. However, if it's parenting/lifestyle choices then I would keep shtum. However, if my friends ask my opinion on things I will give them an answer honestly. (for example, my friend who is due a baby any day asked me where I'd put the carseat, in back or front, so I explained to her the dangers of having baby in front and reasons to keep rear facing as long as possible. What she does with that information though is up to her)

Its just as safe having the baby in the front as in the back as long as there isnt an active airbag. And in some cars safer due to having a larger crumple zone.

Generally IRL i just keep my opinions to myself, there are many things that the SIL has done with her LO, and friends with theirs that are not 'my cup of tea' but i have the youngest baby so i cant really comment lol.
If i thought the baby was in danger then yes i would speak out tho x

I know how sensitive I was about so-called we-meaning comments, it made me feel s insecure. But if I see a friend of mine is struggling and could benefit from some help in an area I struggled I just make gentle suggestions - i.e. have you tried this? I found this really good. I struggled with this too..etc. It helps other mums knowing they're not alone and getting some suggestions. I got mine fro here so didn't feel I needed extra advice but not everyone is on bnb and some genuinely appreciate help
