Everyone has advice about your baby

Why is it when you're pregnant everyone else seems to know whats best for your baby...I find it funny..for example why does my baby need 43 dollar bottles??? Lol he may like the cheap one's. .I just sit back and laugh..ill only take advice from my mom  who I know wouldn't give me ill advice. ..:)

My mom and one other relative drive me crazy with that stuff! I'm going to blow up one day. I try to give out advice when asked for it but in a way that just reflects my own experience bottom line EVERY PREGNANCY AND EVERY KID IS DIFFERENT

I have a cousin like that that I cannot freaking stand, mainly because her parenting skills are ridiculous. Her mom is over there every single day... I don't mean to sound mean but I don't want your parenting advice when you can't go a day alone with your baby without your mom. Ps her child is almost 2 now. Everything she said I would experience in my pregnancy didn't happen... because all pregnancies are different and I just cannot deal with it. I was polite at first but I can feel myself getting really short with her.

I know what you mean! I just keep telling myself that when somebody gives advice, they're trying to keep me from making mistakes they made or they're hoping to make things as simple as possible by sharing their experiences. Definitely annoying but I can only hope it's all meant to help us have an easier time.

I can relate, Christmas was particularly interesting when my sister tells me all about how pregnancy works, We are both pregnant with our first but I'm 35 weeks and she is 7 weeks!

Funny you mention the bottles because when I had my daughter we had all sorts of different ones. Her favorites? The 90 cent ones from Wal-Mart! We even had more expensive bottles that we put those nipples in cause she refused to use them lol.
