What parenting choice you have made are you most confident about and what are you most insecure about?

okay, I'll start. :D


I'm most confident in my choice to breastfeed and most insecure about my baby's sleeping habits.What parenting choice you have made are you most confident about and what are you most insecure about?
Great question :)





I am most confident about my daughter's sleeping habits and how I helped her to sleep so well since 5 months old (except when she's sick of course).





I am least confident about her using a pacifier. She's 14 months old. We just weaned from bottle to sippy cup and from formula to cow's milk. I don't want to do too many changes at once for her. I'll wait a few months and try but it's not really hurting anything and she'll definitely be off it by 2. She ONLY has it in her crib or if she's fussy in the car but mostly just in bed (they stay in her crib except when I clean them every morning).





Again, very interesting question.





ETA: Real Moms Raise Their Children: Excuse me but I am an extremely real and good mother and my daughter is in daycare 5 days a week. She's 14 months old and healthy and happy. She's learned how to share, start to speak Spanish and be comfortable around other people. Not to mention her immune system will be top notch when she's in elementary school. Not all families can afford to have someone stay home. I'd love to stay home with her but it's just not the right decision for my family, how dare you or anyone judge that.What parenting choice you have made are you most confident about and what are you most insecure about?
Exact Same as you. I am most confident in my decision to breast fed. I am very glad I stuck with it, still nursing 9.5 months later and don't plan on stopping. I also think I am very good at watching her nutrition. And very much agree with attachment style parenting.





I am insecure about her sleeping habits also, we have let her co-sleep pretty much since birth and she still doesn't sleep threw the night, and most of the time I have to nurse her to sleep. I have tried rocking and 45min to an hour later, still no sleeping baby. Nursing on the other hand, she is out in like 5-10 min. No joke. She is getting better, slowly but surely I am sure she will sleep threw the night.
I feel the most confident about my choice to breastfeed, despite struggling with a low supply and eventually having to supplement. I have never looked back and questioned that decision in any way.





I am the least confident about his eating habits now as he is approaching a year old and is therefore eating more and more solid foods, it makes any problems I had breastfeeding seem so easy, because making sure he is still getting all the nutrition he needs in the foods he is eating seems so daunting.
Yes, I am most confident about my choice to breastfeed my baby. That's kind of a no-brainer, you know? I guess one that hasn't been scientifically proven to be best would be my choice to co-sleep with my kids. It has worked out fine for my twins and my baby.





The one that I am most insecure about it letting my kids watch TV. They will be occupied with puzzles, books, coloring, toys, etc. but they beg for TV a lot and one of my twins really remembers what she watched and will talk about it weeks later out of the blue. It makes me worry because she doesn't talk about stuff she did weeks later, but she remembers TV shows. It's scary!
The most I am confident about is that I am a good parent .The most I am insecure about is leaving my kids with someone I am not to familiar


with .That's why I never let anyone watch them unless it is a family member.They don't go to daycare and I don't have a regular babysitter to watch them.I am very protective .
most confident= reading to y lil one since she was one week old, shes about to be six months and babbles like crazy





most insecure= we are bilingual, speak spanish and english, we chose to teach her english first, due to if we try spanish we are scared that in school she'll be confused, my lil bro spoke spanish first, and now he mixes the words up, example, he says SONLY, meaning ONLY, and in spanish SOLAMENTE


so we are trying to avoid that, but we still want her to learn spanish, so im scared of that decision
Excellent question: I am most confident about my decision to breastfeed and to take a break from my studies so that I can stay at home with our son.





insecured: I am not very comfortable about his irregular sleeping habits. He sleeps in his crib most of the night but joins me in my bed at around 5 or 6 in the morning and intermittently keeps breast-feeding. I do not have the heart to let him cry it out in order to imbibe better sleeping habits.
Great question, Jen. The parenting choice I feel I am most confident about is that my children are the most important things in my life and they make my world go round. I never really LIVED until I had kids. The parenting choice I am insecure about is our sleeping issues with Kenzie and also I wish I would've been able to relactate after getting off my kidney medications when Kenzie was younger.
I'm least confident in my ';choice'; to not breastfeed (in quotes because it wasn't one big ';I'm not breastfeeding, screw it!'; kind of choice, but rather a series of small choices that ended up there.)





I'm most confident in my son's sleeping arrangements and schedule.





This put me weirdly opposite with a lot of other answers, lol.
I feel most confident about my decision to stay at home and to breastfeed.





I feel most insecure about, well... let me see, it really changes with the day. Today I feel most insecure about the fact that my son turned 9 months old yesterday and he is still army crawling around. He also will only pull up if I am holding on to his hands, not on furniture. I guess I didn't do enough tummy time, although I really thought that we were doing it a lot.
I'm one hundred percent confident with my choice in using cloth diapers and becoming a stay at home mom to avoid ever putting her in daycare.





I'm not confident about napping schedule, or her introduction to newer foods. I think I feel too paranoid about her choking on table foods.
Confident: Not using the CIO method. We've made it through 14 months without having to use it.





Insecure: Him talking. I hear about all these other babies his age that have a better vocabulary and then I wonder what we're doing wrong. He can say a handful of words but most of the time it's still babbling.
I'm with diet c--


most confident; breast feeding. we've got it down pat.


least confident; vaccinating. shots just make me worried. I have to go next week to do his 4 month shots and though we're spacing them out, I still don't know about them. that's such a huge thing to me.. the safety of them, a possible reaction, his crying and leg swelling. ugh. I hate it.
My daughter is only three months, so I'm positive these will change as she gets older....At this point I'm most confident about my decision of breastfeeding even though I get pressure from my in laws to use a bottle. I'm most insecure about her vaccinations as I just don't know if I'm more comfortable delaying them or getting them on time.
I am most confident in my choice to breastfeed and most insecture about... our financial situation and being a sahm.





I love being sahm but I do not want my baby to go to daycare so i am insecure about our finances.
My most confident is also choosing to breastfeed. And my most insecure is my choice to co-sleep with my son due to all the criticism I receive from family.
I am most confident about that 99% of the time I can calm her down and make her happy/fall asleep. I am least confident about how to introduce healthy foods into her diet and teach her variety (unlike my older daughter.....very picky).
Most confident about choosing to exclusively pump when nursing wasn't working out.





Least confidentt about solid feeding. There's so much info and it isn't clear cut. But rainwriterm has helped me out a lot.
I have the same exact answer Jen!!! I'm very insecure about my son's sleeping habits, where and how he sleeps and etc. I am very confident in my decision to breastfeed and not use any formula at all.
I'm confident about my choice to breastfeed.


Insecure about my choice to do baby led weaning. People look at me like I'm psycho when I give my baby chunks of real fruit instead of baby food.
Most confident choice- eating habits


Least confident- Putting my daughter in private school
