Parent, especially if they are young often must put up with people who you never knew were experts in parenting but they always knew they wereexperts because they appointed themselves! These experts spare no advice on what to do with your baby or better yet what you’re doing wrong. Even real qualified experts can wear a parent out with advice and many real experts offer advice which was the opposite of what a previous real expert said.
That’s why the sign in this Spanish doctor’s office is a breath of fresh air to parents around the world and it went viral getting translated into a few languages. A Spanish blogger named Jaione posts on her blog telling parents to trust themselves and not allow people to tell them how to raise their children. As parents you know best. She found this sign and posted: “I found this sign on my pediatrician’s door and I decided to publicize it because I feel every mother can learn a thing or 2 from it.”
What is the best:
It’s the best not to nurse your baby
It’s the best not to give your baby a bottle of milk
It’s the best not to always hold your baby
It’s the best not to let him lay there
It’s the best not to wrap him like that
It’s the best to wrap him the other way
It’s the best not to feed your baby puree baby food
It’s the best to give him only natural foods
It’s the best not what your mother says
It’s the best not what your husband says
It’s the best not to be your baby’s caretaker
It’s the best not to leave your baby by his grandparents
It’s the best not to raise your child like that
It’s the best not to raise your child the other way
Do you know what really is the best?
YOU ARE THE BEST!
You know what makes you feel good
Your maternal instinct tells you what’s best for your baby
You know how to help him
You know what will make yourself calm and happy
And when you’re calm and happy your baby is the calmest and happiest
For if you feel good your children get the best because you’re the best
When you’re feeling confident, they feel confident
So let’s stop telling parents what the best is
And let’s try and create that good ourselves
Because the best thing for our children is ourselves!
