Accidental natural parenting


I just realised that i seemed to have slowly veered into the natural parenting section and i didnt even realise lol.

So far im into

*wearing River as much as i can (although she is a big chunk so am going to look for a better carrier then the one i have atn)

*Amber teething necklace

*would like to get into cloth nappies

*am planning baby #2 and would really like a natural home birth

People look at me like im a nutter when i say im interested in these things

Pointless thread really lol

I seem to have ended up here without having put much thought behind it either hon! The main natural parenting thing I don't do is cosleeping now that we've just started the cloth nappies - I never saw myself as anatural parent but here I am!

I think a lot of us here are in the same boat I used to be into purses and shoes and now I can't get enough of cloth diapers and baby carriers, lol. I really thought our mum and baby yoga class would have more granola-cruncher types, but they look at me like a nutter too when they see Emma's cloth diapers and now her amber teething necklace- oh well, the natural stuff suits us

I think once i had River in my arms it just feels right to follow the more natural approach. I guess we have been having babies for so long for the most part the natural approach feels best

HaHa -

I didn't know that what I did put me in the "natural parenting" section until I joined BnB. Breastfeeding, cloth diapering and babywearing are pretty common where I am so I never really thought of it as an "alternative" parenting style. LOL
