Third-Time Mom Shares Unconventional Parenting Confessions

Title: "Experienced Moms Share: The Freedom of Letting Go of Parenting 'Rules'" In a recent online video, Emily, a mother of three, offered candid insights into her evolving parenting approach, particularly with her third child. Dubbed "confessions from a third-time mom," her video highlights a more relaxed and intuitive style that many experienced parents might find relatable. Emily shared that she nursed all her babies to sleep, a practice often advised against, yet she notes, "They all sleep. Everybody sleeps, okay." She also revealed that her third baby did not engage in traditional tummy time, instead doing it while lying on her chest, and has developed a "very strong neck," as even commented on by her doctor. Perhaps her most surprising confession was never swaddling her third child. "She hated the swaddle, broke out of the swaddle, wouldn't be swaddled," Emily explained. Instead, her baby went straight to a sleep sack and, according to Emily, "She sleeps great, she slept better than all my other babies." Emily concluded by emphasizing that with more experience, parents realize "not that much matters" and that it's okay to follow a baby's cues.
