So, here I am writing a parenting blog. Something I never thought I would do as I read so many that are very one sided and many parents treat them as 'Gospel'. I decided to start writing one to give another perspective. My thoughts are to provide a wide range of ideas in alsorts of subjects. I do NOT want any readers to hold on my every word! I would like you to perhaps open minds and views and do what you fell works best for you. Only you knows what makes you happy and only you can make the best decisions for you and your family.
I will post my view of certain issues and analyse them through all sides. (yes this may end up slighltly bias but I will try not to)
A little about me then? I am a young single (unfortunately) mother at 26. I have a 6 yr old boy and a 3 yr old girl. I am a Breastfeeding peer supporter (one of the nice ones) and have been for over 3 years now. I am currently studying with the NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor Diploma of Higher Education. I am also a doula and run a separate sewing business part time. (http://www.michellelouisedesigns.co.uk/) I still class myself as a stay at home mum though. I formula fed my eldest from 3 week and my youngest still breastfeeds now sometimes. (never thought I would be doing that) Both children were born in hospital naturally as was our informed choice.
So, does it really matter? Do our different parenting styles really matter? We only make decisions we see to be the correct ones at the time and those decisions make us happy then. Surely that is what is important? Hmm
