What is your favourite part of natural parenting?

[aliss]

I mean if you reallllllllllly had to choose between all those things that sort of fall under the category?

For me it is babywearing, although I have a feeling if I didn't have to pump, it would be breastfeeding

1. Breastfeeding
2. Babywearing (although I came to it late in the game, I absolutely love it).
3. Making home cosmetics..

I am not a cloth-nappying mommy, but I am now beginning to look into it to see if I will like it as much as the above 3! x

i'd love it to be breastfeeding. fingers crossed we'll make it with #2.

Breastfeeding is fabulous, however seeing as I only stopped recently with my son I am kind of like... Noooooo, so soon? Jut a few more months with boobies to myself, pleeeeaaaseeee? I am sure it will be different with a newborn though.

Babywearing!! Look forward to having my baby with me constantly.

Alternate natural pain relief during labour, exploring my deep "within" during the process, in the comfort of my own home. I know it sounds silly, but it certainly isn't to me. I woke up this morning feeling all warm and fuzzy inside about it.

More nature involved play time for my son. Taking him for nature walks, teaching him about different mushrooms and trees, plants, etc etc. I live in british columbia and we have lovely unaltered forest everywhere.

I moved here (Montreal) from Vancouver only 6 months ago and I will miss that We used to hike with LO in the sling but there's no real mountains here now!

This is soooo hard!
Definitely breastfeeding though, I could cope without doing the other things.
But I love my fluff! And my wraps... And just generally being baby led.

Hmmm, so everything really!

I can only comment with maddi, and we didn't do much cloth or successful with bf-ing, but my very fav thing now is how much we cuddle even now, cuddle it out is def my favorite thing of NP. though for roo this may be on par with fluff

Baby wearing, its the only part that doesnt have some chore you have to do

 

[Jellyt]

Baby wearing! I love that she's a cloth bum too and I'm a natural kind of person anyway so all of that gets incorporated into my parenting but I still love wearing her at 16 months old

The west coast is a beautiful place. Especially the island. Have you been?

Yes, I used to spend summers in Sidney with my grandma Took LO on the ferry at 5 weeks! If I was to move back, I'd def. move to the island. I'm actually from the fraser valley not Vancouver itself (yuck lol)

I dislike vancouver a lot, honestly. I think it is a hideous cosmopolitan city... But I grew up running naked like a hippie child, so don't know if I count haha

I loved breastfeeding, and hopefully can make it past a year this next time!

I think i love the cloth nappies more though, soo comfy for him, and so much more practical and less leaky, and they look and feel about a million times nicer aswell!

I also don't think i could live without babywearing, we have so much fun going on long walks, feeling the leaves on the trees and plants, and tickling eachother. Not to mention its so much more practical than a pushchair when we are in town too!

I Bf until 7 months and I did love it (decided at 7 months to combi-feed due to going back to work and inability to pump, and DD then started refusing breast at all after trying to combi). It was my favourite thing. I hope, if I have another baby, to BF longer next time.

Currently my fave part is nappies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved BF, LO was only on 1 [sometimes 2] feeds a day when I got my BFP and we managed to stop very easily and painlessly on both sides [for us both I mean, not both my boobs!]

But I have to say, I absolutely love babywearing, I think it has probably impacted my parenting more than BF had overall. And the slightly materialistic side of me reeeeally loves shopping/lusting over new wraps

Ahhh how do I choose? I love co-sleeping. I just love that he is right beside me and in the mornings he tells me his stories.

I love babywearing, breastfeeding, cloth diapers so much too!

 

[CMarie]

1) Defo breastfeeding...love the bonding time!

2) It's a tie between babywearing and co-sleeping. I love having LO so close to me during the day and I love waking up to his sweet face every morning

3) Using natural remedies for any problems that have come up (ie thrush, eczema, etc)...I feel better knowing chemicals aren't in or on my son!

 

[StarlitHome]

1) Babywearing - I love the bond. I co-babywore one of my brothers when I was a teenager (with my mom) and my bond with him is still amazing (he's a giant 8-year-old now...) so I definitely wanted that with my own child!

2) Co-sleeping - I wouldn't sleep at all if she wasn't there beside me, even with her there I wake up all the time to check her!

3) Breastfeeding, making my own laundry soap for her clothes, finding natural remedies, etc. are in spot 3.

Baby wearing as it was wonderful when I had to stop BFing as we still had amazing closeness, and shes SO happy on my back!!!

For me it's breastfeeding - I love it.
That's closely followed by cloth nappies and babywearing.
