Just Doing What Feels Right As a Mother
January 27th 2012 -
I guess many people would consider me an alternative mother. For me though I see myself as just me doing what I feel is best and following my heart. I never let my son cry it out and from the moment he was born I knew he would be sleeping with me. He still does and he is 4. I never liked the idea of a cot bed and putting my son in another space or room to me. Being in bed with me means I have been able to nurse him with ease and cuddle with him all night. Nothing is better than that. I chose to use cloth nappies too and to wear my son in a sling as opposed to using a pushchair. I loved using the sling in the winter when we were out and about. I could keep my baby close to be nice and warm. I didn’t like the idea of putting him in a pushchair in the winter. Sitting in a pushchair would mean he would be cold. Regardless of the amount of covers he would have on; sitting still in cold weather is still going to make you feel cold. The sling just made more sense to me and make me feel more at ease with my precious baby. Many people consider these sorts of things weird but to me they just are normal. I just go with the flow and just do things because they make sense to me.
