Choosing My Battles: So True

» teresasmom - So True

I have faced many of the same battles. I also co-sleep, breastfeed (and will until she self-weans), and we do not vaccinate. My family is CONSTANTLY asking me if she is sleeping "in her crib." I try to always point out the she sleeps all night, which is more than I can say for every crib-sleeping baby I know. So what if she's in my bed?

As far as vaccinating, I'm ashamed to say that I've hardly told anyone. Too many people are so ignorant about this issue that they think that it is equivalent to abuse - which is so far from the truth!

And I also get the "When are you going to stop breastfeeding?" Hopefully someday soon people will be better educated about breastfeeding, and understand the enormous health benefits to it.

Great article!
