I am really enjoying this thread.

I highly doubt the athiests of the world are going to really agree, haha. I am a very spiritual person. It is clear to me that bonding goes beyond the explainable. There is an article that states that when your baby smiles at you, your heart will immediately synch with theirs. How can we really prove why or how? It's magical.

Some things ARE unexplainable. Some things don't need to be explained. It rings true to me that you reap what you sow. The world must keep a balance. And we are not balanced people, and the world is reflecting that. I think an integral part of that is we are straying too far from nature.

We need to start with our children.

I don't think the way you were born has much to do with how you are. My friends daughter was born by EMCS after a very long labor that didn't progress past 1cm, she was also induced due to high BP. Her daughter is the most calm toddler I have ever seen, she is perfectly content to sit still and play with one toy.

Arianna had a fairly normal birth, spontaneous labor, 12 hours, I had an epi and she is the exact opposite of my friends daughter. Constantly busy, always needing to do something different, etc.

Again, personality is also related to how you live your life, I know they just sit around a lot. Arianna and I do a lot more than they do, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Birth isn't the only thing that effects it, I agree. But I do believe it can have effect, just ourely on my OWN experiences, the experiences with my two sons, and what I have read.

The atmosphere also matters. Lots of things matter. No one is ever going to "have it all". I just feel like, personally, I am a MUCH better parent for my beliefs.

Couldn't agree more. Some things don't have a scientific fact stapled to them.

[lauram_92]

I'm thinking about buying some tots bots. Oliver has his lime itti on. Love it. So bright seems to be different than the other ones though.

 

[emmylou92]

I.Love.Easyfits!
I'm slowly making them my entire stash. I don't boost at all and they last 4 hours easy
Finally found the nappies that work for us haha

Laura, would Oliver wear girly prints? I have a fuchsia tutto that I hate with a passion.

Hollie is a heavy wetter, she walkes a round drinking water all day.

I want to get one itty and one LL to try. I NEED to buy some tiny fits, but I can get them at tesco!

See, cloth is just convinient to me, I don't obsess over them like some people do. I feel weird.

EC will be my route after we move, I hope it isn't too late...

I don't 'obsess' over cloth. I just obsessed finding ones that worked well for us.

There are plenty of diaper addicts out there, reguardless. Me, I am just a carrier addict. A muc more expensive endeavor.
