The NO JUDGEMENT 'What did you vow never to do with LO but do now anyway?' thread!

Awwww kinda didn't expect many replies. Yay for sharing!

Common theme here - Co-sleeping, dummies and length or time breastfeeding.

I said I would BF for 6 months and then switch to FF when I introduced solids... I switched to FF at 3 weeks when I got ill.

We planned to keep Fin in our room til 4-6 months when he went in his cot... wasn't anticipating a 98th percentile length/91st percentile weight baby and he went in the cot in the nursery at 8 weeks xx
 
I said I wouldnt co-sleep since Jacob was 4 when we finally got him in his own bed but he has co slept with us from about a week old he is now 14 months so he will probably be 4 before going into his own bed :lol:
 
One thing I found funny was that I was desperate to cosleep AND give him a soother/dummy but he refused both :cry: What baby refuses cosleeping? I swear there are some wires crossed in this kid's brain
 
I said he wouldn't watch tv until he's a lot older but when I need to do something I pop him in front of Jeremy Kyle and he loves it!! :-/

I said he's always go to bed early but cause of where we used to live it was a past midnight proper bedtime (only just managed to get him to sleep at half 9! So we're getting there!)

I Also said no dummies but he had one from day 3 and I am so glad I did it cause he sttn from that day onwards :)

haha jeremy kyle thats what i do lol plonk lo in swing jezza on and i hoover :haha::haha: give me a few mins i will think of more x:haha:

my LO has never wanted to cosleep either, she is the most independant little madam ever!!1 :haha:
 
Oh god havent read the thread but-
I swore blind I wouldnt co-sleep, wouldnt formula feed, wouldnt pick her up the second she started crying, would wait til 6 months to wean and that she would be my only child!

Funny how things turn out hehe! I like reading the threads in the tri's from first time mummies about the things they will/wont do, obviously I dont comment but I always think "you just wait!!"
 
for me it is the Dummy! I swore he would NEVER have one, but I'd bought one in case of desperate times! And when colic strikes, times are desperate! He loves it, I am trying to ration it though. I also swore i would use reusable nappies, but he has been in Pampers so far!!!!! I keep promising myself I'll try the re-useables but then I get lazy!
 
Because of my other 2 children I didnt make ANY plans as I knew you just dont know what kind of baby your gonna get!They allmost always make up their own rules.:blush::haha:
 
I was definitely going to breastfeed until 6 months - actually it was 6 weeks

Definitely no Iggle Piggle (I really really hated Iggle Piggle)- He had an Iggle piggle top he has a talking one my sister donated, I bought him and Iggle piggle book today and I learned the In the Night Garden theme tune on my guitar lol

I certainly wasn't going to be one of those mothers that all they talk about is their kid - yeah right lol I don't know what else to talk about anymore apart from xbox

No baby jars they're a waste of money- um not when they're 10 for £4.50 and I'm still learning to cook healthy. I am improving now he's older and can eat more.

I think the worst was I was going back to work when he was 3 months old. -I'm going back in a couple of weeks and I still don't wanna
 
I said I would bf I did for a little while but gave up
I said he wouldnt have a dummy he did and then gave it up at 6 months
I said I wouldnt wean early, I weaned at 4 months

Great thread :) x
 
First I said I would NEVER have kids! :rofl:
Said I would let her cry so I wouldn't spoil her, but now I could care less if she's spoiled!
Said I would never breastfeed, even had bottles bought! But I did it anyway.
Said I would never co-sleep! Although we're weaning her off that now, I still did it!
 
*I didn't want to FF (not a 'never', but at least a 'not from the start'), that one didn't go quite according to plan.
*I definitely didn't want to co-sleep once she outgrew her Snuggle Nest- the in-laws kind of screwed up that one for us. :dohh:
*I didn't want to feed her unhealthy foods after weaning- unfortunately there's a lot of junk food about the house here and she gets a taste of anything she wants. *sigh* She's even managed to get hold of a lollipop when I wasn't looking!
 
We said no dummies too, gave in at about 3 weeks old.:blush:
I was sooo scared of co-sleeping (mw do a good job at putting you off), but it's the only way to get that vital extra 30 mintues sleep in the morning sometimes :sleep: (easier to put DS's dummy :baby: back in if he's next to me than across the room in his cot).
We're not doing too bad with the getting out of the house every day for a walk, but some days I just can't be bothered!:haha:
 
I said I wouldnt b/f (personal reasons) I did, though only exclusively for 2 days, then combi for 2wks.
No to coming in our bed.... aaaah that extra 1/2hr when daddys gone to work.....
No dummy out and about (though I only have it in my bag he rarely uses it, prefers his thumb)
The only thing I have stuck to is NO disney lol
 
I also said no dummy. Now I've witnessed how quickly it calms her down it's my greatest ever purchase! :haha:

I said I wouldn't use formula. My breasts said otherwise.

I said I wouldn't dress her in pink very much. Then everyone bought pink outfits for her. Seems a shame to waste them all.

I also had vague notions of cloth nappies, but gave up on that idea before she was even born!

Love this thread! :thumbup:
 
I said I wouldn't have many pink clothes and dress her in pink much. Now I open her wardrobe and there's a ton of pink in there!! Luckily she has a lot of non-pink clothes too lol!

Thats about it so far, but will probably change over the coming weeks!!! I did say about the dummy, but then we did try to use it but she refuses to take one, so it's not quite the same lol!
 
Before having my baby I used to think playpens were cruel :lol: I don't know why??:haha: if my front room was big enough I would much rather she was in a playpen than the floor.

I also said I would start weaning when she had teeth :haha: what was I thinking?? Lol

I said I would only breastfeed for six months.
 
I said I would never co-sleep. We did for the first 2 weeks because it was the only way she would sleep.
I said I wouldn't give her formula. She's been exclusively FF since she was 3 weeks old due to her "rejecting" me.
I said no soother - she was given one in the hospital so she would stay calm under the lights (jaundice) and has had one ever since.
