Iām still shook from what I saw at my cousinās house. Tell me why sheās making her baby a bottle⦠and I see her add cereal, baby food, AND a little extra formula like sheās whipping up a protein shake. Iām like āwhat is all that?ā She laughs and goes, āItās a knock-out bottle. Heāll sleep all night.ā EXCUSE ME??? This baby is barely old enough to sit up. Instead of waking up to feed him, comfort him, or figure out WHY heās crying, youāre trying to sedate him with a heavy bottle so you can sleep?? Thatās not a parenting hack thatās laziness wrapped in a bottle. And the wild part? She got offended when I said something. Told me I was ājudgingā and that āevery mom does it.ā NO. Every mom absolutely does NOT do that. Some of us actually get up, lose sleep, and deal with our kids instead of trying to knock them out like a light switch. If youāre so tired you need to drug-feed your baby into unconsciousness just to get rest⦠maybe the issue isnāt the baby. I said what I said
