Out with the old

It's time to have a clear-out in the blogosphere.
There was a lot of blogs i started to follow whilst pregnant, because it was kind of fun to follow them and recognise and compare notes. The thing is there is only really one pregnancy style, wheras there are plenty of parenting styles and i simply can not read certain ones anymore...

I never realised i was that different, i thought what we did was common. Turns out not so. There are plenty of people who think you can spoil a 6 month old baby by letting him/her sleep on the breast. There are people who don't think a premature baby needs breastmilk and because they can't suck they won't bother trying. People who think it's okay to leave their babies to cry for 1, 5 or 10 minutes because they need to toughen up and learn.

They have chosen to do this. It has nothing to do with me and i can't do anything about it, but i can stop reading about it and stop getting upset. So that's what i'll do. Goodbye!
