Both of my children were exclusively breastfed, with my daughter weaned at 12 months and my son at 15 months.
The daughter is the first child, attaches great importance to it, and has always followed the principle of keeping a book.
My son was a second child, and after having the experience of raising a daughter, I felt that I was an experienced person who came over, so I raised him in the Buddhist lineage.
Daughter of The Book
The daughter was born at the end of January 2018, and her arrival has brought the whole family atmosphere to life. And she is also the grandson that the mother-in-law has been looking forward to for several years, so everyone is very rare in her, afraid that she will be uncomfortable.
Since I was pregnant with my daughter, I have checked some parenting knowledge, and my daughter's growth is also based on this parenting concept.
In the month, the mother-in-law wanted to leggings for her daughter, saying that the legs were good and the legs were straight. Besides, she was still a girl, and it was important that her legs were good or not, but I stopped her.
When I was in the hospital, my aunt said that the child does not have to deliberately leggings, which will make her uncomfortable, just casually.
In the matter of giving her water, I completely listened to the doctor's statement: the breastfed child did not need to drink water, because the water content of breast milk itself was as high as 70%, so I did not deliberately give her water again.
Despite this, my daughter's urine output and bowel movements are still normal, so the idea of not feeding water is supportive for my daughter.
But all things are not fixed, the truth can not change, but people have to change. Parents must treat the child according to their own situation, such as when the child is found to have little urine, dark color or smell, be sure to give the child water to drink.
After 6 months of my daughter, my mother-in-law intentionally or unintentionally said that she wanted to pee for her daughter several times, but I did not agree. In my opinion, there is no wetness in the diaper why give her to pee, I do not want to make her uncomfortable.
When my mother-in-law saw that I didn't agree, she didn't mention it again. When my daughter was one and a half years old, she had successfully quit diapers during the day, and she had successfully quit it once.
Later, when she wanted to pee or pull the stink, she would say that she was too anxious to say it, and would take the adult's hand to her own small toilet.
A son of a Buddhist lineage
My son and daughter are one year and 10 months apart, and I was pregnant the month I just weaned my daughter.
When I first found out that I was pregnant, I had the idea of giving up on him, but then I couldn't bear to stay. In the end, I was very happy to have a son come to heaven.
My son was born in the middle of November 2019, after birth I did not raise him in the way of my daughter, I think that boys should be raised in Buddhism, and I have experience, I am a person, I don't have to be too nervous.
However, in the middle of the month, my son fell ill, and at that time, it was inconvenient due to the epidemic, so my son spent his entire recovery cycle at home.
Because my son drinks medicine, so after drinking the medicine, I will give him a small amount of boiled water, probably because he has never tasted other tastes other than breast milk, he has no resistance to medicine and boiled water, he drinks it all, and after drinking it, he involuntarily licks his mouth, feeling that the taste makes him taste endless.
After my son fell ill this time, I would give him a small amount of boiled water every few days to remember the taste, and then I found that he also liked to drink water more and more.
6 months later, the mother-in-law mentioned again that she wanted to pee for her son, and this time I was not perverted.
I remember once, when I went out to the bathroom and came back, I found my mother-in-law peeing on my son, and when I saw that my son was very cooperative, I didn't say anything.
The mother-in-law saw the situation, and later gave her son more and more times to urinate, in her words, compared to the diaper is more comfortable than the diaper is not wet, but also saves the cost of diaper is not wet, killing two birds with one stone.
It is precisely because his son began to urinate at half a year old, and when he was one year old, he had completely quit diapers during the day, half a year earlier than his daughter.
Two children have different parenting styles, the daughter raised by the book, the son raised by the Buddhist family, and now one is more than 4 years old, one is more than two years old, and the body is very healthy, and there is no such thing as not doing what the book says.
The two children raised in different ways are also very cute, fortunately they all love me very much and love each other very much, and I am proud to have them.
Therefore, for the modern parenting concept of babies drinking water and urinating, I look at it this way, in my opinion, the right is good, and I hope that every baby can grow up healthy and happy.
