Hi
I don't know if this is just hormones or if its normal but I wondered if anyone else felt a bit lonely because of their parenting style?
I exclusively breast feed and follow the wonder weeks and the butterfly baby clinic on Facebook, and am of the opinion that babies should be carried and immediately tended to as soon as they cry or fuss. Its the o lay way they can communicate so if we miss their cues or they're going through a leap or feeling poorly it seems.like the natural thing to do.
However I feel like I am constantly judged and started to be alienated for my choices. I feel like friends think I am judging them for formula feeding or for having stricter routines than me.or for letting them cry for five.mins before picking them.up etc.
My husband is very supportive of my ideas and reads all the articles I email him and listens to what I say. But I feel like I don't have anyone like minded to talk to and that my mummy friends no longer wish to spend time with me because if this.
For example, a mummy friends said to me on a visit to her house 'well we'll see whoa parenting style is the best in a few years when we see who's child is the naughtiest'. I don't know why she feels.so competitive and I certainly wouldn't intend yo make her feel this way.
