I have a weird thing about baby advice.
I don’t like it.
I don’t like being told that I need to do x,y, and z to get my child to sleep. I don’t like being marketed to.
I don’t like being made to feel like I’m an inadequate parent and that the only way I can be good enough for my baby is if I purchase someone’s course.
