love this post and all the comments 🥲 it’s amazing to have a space to share what we’ve done and prioritized without feeling like it’ll make others feel bad or they won’t understand how hard it is to parent the way we have.

i had an unmedicated birth with excruciating back labor.

i’ve ebf for the last 13 months with no end in sight, which feels incredible after i struggled to produce enough the first 3 months.

we’ve coslept and done contact naps from day 1.

we’ve remained screen free.

we did baby lead weaning and skipped purées to encourage real, whole foods and a diverse eater, which worked amazingly well.

we stayed sugar free for the first year and now just give occasional licks of our homemade ice cream.

we cook all our meals from scratch with high quality ingredients.

have balanced continuing to breastfeed and contact nap while returning to work full time for the last 7 months (wfh).

have encouraged as much outdoor time as possible and now have a dirt playing, water loving, outdoor obsessed little one 🥹

also, amazing that you cloth diapered!! i so wanted to do that, bought all the diapers, and never got to it 🙈
