As most parents, we both agree to disagree. Just because we may not agree on both of our differenting par
enting styles, doesn't make us any less of friends, or mothers. And no, just because you disagree with our decisions, or we disagree with yours, that does not make us any different. In the end we are all mothers, and thats all that counts. So lets get started.
Co Bathing - To bathe with your baby.
We both agree Co-Bathing is a great thing to do with a baby at any age. It is an amazing bonding experience.
Co Sleeping - Parent(s) sharing a bed with their infant.
Where as Stephy co-sleep's every night, Sam feels with her soon to be newborn baby, she would feel safer to co-sleep with an attached sleeper. Of course this may all change once her son/daughter arrives.
The reason why Stephy co-sleeps:
"I never wanted to co sleep in the first place. Only reason why I do it is because it's the only way Brooke will sleep. It's survival. You do what you have to do. On the positive, it's a wonderful bonding experience. I sleep better knowing my child is by my side".
Extended Rear Facing - The child remains facing the rear of the car beyond the typical 20 pound weight threshold.
We both agree extended rear facing benifits the childs safty.
Breast Feeding - Feeding your child via breast.
We both agree, breast is best. We understand medical issues, that cause some parents not to breast feed. It's an amazing bond, and benifits both mother & child.
Stephys milk dried up after 2 months and she wasn't as dedicated as she should have been, she regrets that.
Samantha plans to breast feed and do everything in her power to breast feed until the age of 1. Extended Breast feeding benifits in powerful ways.
** In no way are we bashing mothers who formula feed! In the end, If you can or can't breastfeed, you're still a great mother.**
Pro Vaccination - Babies getting Vaccinated.
Stephy: "I'm pro vaccinating because I believe the whole autism thing is bullshit. My entire family has been vaccinated and we've never had any problems, it's benefited all of us. I don't look down on moms who don't because everyone has their own opinion on it. I worry about my own kid and I feel it's he best choice"
Sam: "I'm still iffy on the subject, because i've heard many mixed things on this topic, both good and bad. For now, I am pro vaccination, because again, I agree the Autism thing is bullshit. Also because I haven't heard enough cons to be 'Anti' vaccination just yet. This may change as the months go on, but for now I feel it's the best choice for my son or daughter.
Pro Circumcision - Having the tip of a baby boy's penis removed.
Stephy: "I may not have a son yet but I would rather have him circumcised young then when he's older so he won't remember it. It's cleaner then uncircumcised and it helped protect against infection such as chlamidia and much more."
Anti Circumcision - Refusing to habe the tip of a baby boy's penis removed.
Sam: "So many people have mixed views on Circumcision, why and why not to do it. Well, I am 100% ANTI circumsision and my mind won't change. If you teach your son how to properly clean himself, theres no problems with cleanliness. Foreskin also has over 20,000 nerve endings that you'll be removing, your removing one of the most sensitive and pleasured parts of a mans penis. I feel it's not right to do. Also did you know the same amount of one months old die from SIDS, as they do from curcumcision? Why risk your child?
Attachment Parenting - Focuses on the nurturing connection that parents can develop with their children.
We both agree attachment parenting is the way to go. We disagree with the "cry it out method" etc. Why show less love to your child, when you can show more?
