If you want advice and help about parenting whom do you turn to? and whom have you learned the most from?

My parents - we have the same values, ethics, and priorities!





Nothing worse than talking to someone who is horrified by your decisions!If you want advice and help about parenting whom do you turn to? and whom have you learned the most from?
Always the aunts :) we lived together for a LONG while and they're pro moms as they have three children each. I listen to them a little more than my mom since Mom's last baby was decades ago (lol)


Grandmas are also very old-fashioned so they take more precautions than usual and provide your baby with the over-protection you feel safe with, 100% sure


I learnt most from my uncle who's a single parent after his wife went away (army). He has two kid girls 4 and 8 and he's the most calm, gentle and loving father I know.If you want advice and help about parenting whom do you turn to? and whom have you learned the most from?
Definitely my mother %26amp; sisters!!





I have also learned a lot from parenting magazines %26amp; books %26amp; even Yahoo Answers...lol
I ask my best friend,as we have kids of the same age.
I learned from my parents.I turned to my parents and I been to parenting class not once but twice!
ill listen to everyone, but i listen to my mom more.
my friend Anna. she has four boys a few years older then my three so she's been there and can give me great advice.
When I found out I was pregnant, we started to go to Young Parent's Network. You should see if you have one in your area. We were 24 and 26 at the time, and typically there's ';younger'; parents there, but it taught us so much from what to expect at doctor visits, at the birth, and then what to do when we got home.





I also breastfed, which was a personal decision I made and I'm a huge advocate of it. I think a lot of women don't breastfeed because they're not educated enough about it and they don't use their resources. I had a really hard time at first, but knowing that it was something I wanted to stick with, I called the lactation consultants at the hospital all the time. They were very helpful.





My daughter's pediatrician is someone I absolutely trust. This is the 3rd pediatrician she's had (and she's only 1 1/2 half) so it took a little time to find one that I trusted 100%. The other doctors were great, but sometimes you just have to find that person that you click with it.





I ALWAYS ask my mom her advice. Things are a lot different now then they were 20 some years ago, so a lot of the ';rules'; have changed, but she's always good one to ask.
My own parents, unless they were abusive. Not abusive as in having been spanked when needed, but beaten, sexually abused, etc. If that's the case, then talk to parents you know.
First, my friends because almost all of them are preschool teachers and work in daycare but also have their own kids. And then my boss because she's a mom and the director of a daycare, and has worked in the field for 20 years so she knows some great tricks.
I think you'll get a lot of the same answer here :)


OUR MUMS! - where would we be without them?


If not my Mum, then I turn to someone who is in or has gone through a similar situation





Take care you, Lulu x
