Abortion I would not have one but i don’t judge others that do for many reasons 1 being a 11 year old friends daughter was raped and had an abortion after finding out she was pregnant

Circumcision No

Baby Immunization yes

Breastfeeding yes

Formula Yes

Disposable Diapers yes

Items that are not approved by the CPSC (bumpers, car seat extras-straps, covers, head rests. department store sleepers that aren’t approved by the SIDS Association, etc. etc.) No

Baby Wearing

Baby Leashes yes

Co-Sleeping No but i don’t judge others that do

Crying It Out NO

Spoon Feeding yes

Infant Ear Piercing no

Baby Development Television Shows yes

Child Care Centers yes

Stern Voice yes

Spanking A tap on the hand yes but nothing else this is how i raise my children

abortion: i am against it unless it was a rape or incest
circumcision: for it
baby immunizations: for it
breast feeding: wanted to but physically couldn’t
formula: had to b/c of the previous situation
disposable diapers: use them
approved baby items: i only really check on like car seats and stuff
baby wearing: not sure what you mean by that
baby leashes: was opposed to it until i had my first daughter and only then do i approve of it in a really busy place like disney world
co-sleeping: did it with my first child and it was the biggest mistake of my life because i never got a good night’s sleep
crying it out: i let my second child cry it out and she is much more independent and i finally get sleep now
spoon feeding: what do you mean? why would that be a controversial parenting issue?
infant ear piercing: i pierced my first daughter’s ears @ 6 months and i was planning on doing my second daughter’s ear too but i never got around to it and she’s 2 now
baby Development TV: my kids watch tv all day…like nick jr or something my kids (2 and 4) can both count in spanish and are both very smart but i didn’t really encourage the tv thing…it just kinda happened
child care centers: i would use one if i had to but luckily my husband and i can afford for me to stay home with them
stern voice: i use a stern voice all the time with my kids…
spanking: i don’t spank unless it’s the last resort and i have given multiple chances and time out didn’t work
i think kids that are taught the correct way at a correct age to use guns and knives is fine but i don’t think they should be able to get ahold of them unless they have parent or adult watching them

Abortion: Would not get one myself and would do my best to talk anyone I know out of getting one. I do not think it should be illegal because people would do it dangerosly but I think they should be shown an abortion before they are allowed to have one and see what really happens
circumsision: Yes baby boys should have them unless it is AGAINST the religion because I know of more than one grown man have to get one because something went wrong later in life.
All babies should be immunized because they have no other way to fight infection and deseases and the benifits far outweigh the risks
Breast feeding is the best but if a woman can NOT breastfeed for whatever reason she should not be made to feel bad about it. Formula is a perfectly viable option.
Disposible Diapers are great and very convient
I don’t know much about these items
If the baby likes the devices that allow them to be "worn" by a parent than go for it, My baby hated it
Baby leashes, don’t you mean toddler leashes. I was against that untill my toddler almost ran in front of a car
cosleeping is fine as long as both parents agree and should probably be stopped before elem school
Crying it out is fine as long as you contine to check on the baby make sure the child is o.k. every so often till the child falls asleep which the child eventually will
spoon feeding is the only way babies get food at first then let them try. I think they should learn to feed themselves at a young age
I dont like infant ear peircing the child should allowed to decide if and when they want it done. and it should be when they can take care of it themselves
Parents should watch any programs with their child so they can talk about it. they lean more when watching with the parents
I think child care centers are necessary and some get a bad rap. they should be researched and the parents should visit. I think they are safer than in home daycare and are held to stricketer regulations but I think they are good especially for preschool age children
somtimes you can not get a childs attention if you always talk in stern voice but you need to use it sometims to grab the attention of a chld in danger
spanking can be used effectively if it is used as a last resort. if you spank for everything it looses its impact
toys that condone violence, guns, knives, swords I do NOT believe in there are so many other toys availbal now how is a baby doll dangersous. I think those are good tools in teaching how to care for and love others, it makes good parents and there is NO proof that it condones young parents.

Abortion – Yes. I wouldn’t do it myself I don’t think (although I don’t know until I’m in a dire situation… who knows what could happen in the future?) but I certainly don’t believe I have control over the bodies of others.
Circumcision – No. Totally unnecessary and no one here does it anyway so it’s not like my son would feel like the odd one out or anything.
Baby Immunization – Yes. I’d get all the ones the NHS offer but I wouldn’t have the extra unnecessary ones that are often offered in the USA. (I’m going to university to study immunology so I’m sure I’ll be pretty well equipped to judge these situations when I become a parent.)
Breastfeeding- YES. Definitely.
Formula – No. I will do everything I can to avoid giving my future children formula but if I really have to as a last resort there’s not much I can do. It annoys me when women don’t at least TRY to breastfeed but obviously for some women it doesn’t work out.
Disposable Diapers – No, not for me. Again, I’d like to see all parents at least try cloth but I doubt that will happen.
Items that are not approved by the CPSC – We don’t have the CPSC here but I wouldn’t use anything that the government didn’t approve.
Baby Wearing – Yes.
Baby Leashes – Yes in certain situations.
Co-Sleeping – Yes.
Crying It Out – No.
Spoon Feeding – I don’t think so. Almost definitely no.
Infant Ear Piercing – No, never.
Baby Development Television Shows – Some are good.
Child Care Centers – Yes but only certain types.
Stern Voice – Yes.
Spanking – No way.
Toys That Are Dangerous In Real Life – Not guns or knives (unless for kitchen use). Maybe a sword for a knight costume very possibly. I want all my children (male and female) to have baby dolls though as I think it teaches about caring for a sibling and compassion not teen parenting.

Abortion (Not only would you or wouldn’t you have one but do you/would you condone others getting one.)-not for me, but its a personal choice

Circumcision-no

Baby Immunization-as long as its safe

Breastfeeding-yes

Formula-no

Disposable Diapers-no, I’d use cloth

Items that are not approved by the CPSC (bumpers, car seat extras-straps, covers, head rests. department store sleepers that aren’t approved by the SIDS Association, etc. etc.)-no

Baby Wearing-yes

Baby Leashes-NO

Co-Sleeping-yes

Crying It Out-no

Spoon Feeding-yes

Infant Ear Piercing-no

Baby Development Television Shows-yes

Child Care Centers-no

Stern Voice-yes

Spanking-no

Toys That Are Dangerous In Real Life(Guns, Knives, Swords, Baby Dolls-as in teaching your child how to care for and to want a baby of their own at a young age, etc. etc.)-gun, knives, swords NO, but dolls yes

Abortion- I myself do not agree with them in your typical situation. However, I do not look down on others who get them unless they are extremely irresponsible and use this as a form of birth control which is ridiculous.

Circumcision- I don’t have a son but if I did I would probably get him circumcised for both health reasons and cosmetic.

Baby Immunization- I really hate getting my daughter all of those shots but I’m afraid not too. I pretty much just use my own judgment when it comes to her having more than one at once or too often. For example, I waited for her first Hep B rather than having it at the hospital and I will never allow any when she has a cold.

Breast Feeding- I didn’t but I respect moms who do because they say it is the best thing for your baby. I don’t like moms who look down on those of us who choose not to breast feed.

Formula- After 9 months of being pregnant and giving your body over to your little one sometimes we just need to be ourselves again. Also, breastfeeding isn’t for everyone.

Disposable Diapers- OMG a must have.

Items not approved- They shouldn’t even be allowed to be sold let alone would I purchase any of them.

Baby wearing- not sure what you mean

Baby leashes- Crazy if you had a child you should be capable of watching them instead of treating them like a dog to make your life easier.

Co-sleeping- As long as you do it safely I think it’s ok. I have an arms reach co-sleeper bed attached to my bed for my daughter and I think it is the best purchase I have made.

Crying it out- It depends on the child’s age and what they are crying for. I would never let a newborn cry it out unless you need a moment to calm yourself down. However, once the child is old enough to just be wanting something they can cry for a few minutes. Definitely in the case of a temper tantrum they should cry it out.

Spoon Feeding- Everyone says you should wait until 6 months but I think it depends on the child as no two babies are the same. I began feeding my daughter rice cereal at 3 months and bananas at 4 months, not to make her sleep as she was already a great sleeper but because she showed an interest in food and was always hungry. It has been working out great.

Infant Ear Piercing- I’m not sure how I feel. I wanted to pierce my daughter’s ears but only if it was at the doc. He said he didn’t do it on babies and I decided to wait. There is no way I would ever let a teen at the mall do it.

Baby Dev. Tv- I think it is a hoax but I let my daughter watch tv for a few minutes every now and then we all a few minutes to get things done.

Child care centers- I would never put anyone down for putting their child in daycare because we all do what we have to. But I am very set on raising my own children full-time until she is pre-k age then I will send her a few days a week to interact with other children.

Stern Voice- Definitely needed at times

Spanking- I don’t believe it is ever the answer to raising your child. However, if my daughter was ever to run into the road or something of that severity I would smack her on the bum or hand. You should never ever hit your child in the face though no matter what their age.

Toys- I’m not sure how I feel on this issue. My husband always says no dolls but I think if you suppress something it will cause a problem too.

Abortion (Not only would you or wouldn’t you have one but do you/would you condone others getting one.){i would not get one but it is up to other if they want one or not, I would not condone anyone}

Circumcision{no, unless medically necessary}

Baby Immunization{yes, they need it}

Breastfeeding{yes, best for a baby}

Formula{good if you can not or do not want to breast feed}

Disposable Diapers{love them}

Items that are not approved by the CPSC (bumpers, car seat extras-straps, covers, head rests. department store sleepers that aren’t approved by the SIDS Association, etc. etc.){bad idea, too dangerous}

Baby Wearing{have no idea what that is??}

Baby Leashes{don’t like them but if someone needs it for their kid then that’s fine, just not for me}

Co-Sleeping{love it}

Crying It Out{don’t like it but if it works for you}

Spoon Feeding{yes}

Infant Ear Piercing{not for me but if you want to it is your kid}

Baby Development Television Shows
{don’t like babies watching tv BUT I wouldn’t say anything to anyone who wanted to}
Child Care Centers{daycare?can be great if it is the right center }

Stern Voice{yes}

Spanking{NO, do not like this and don’t want to see others doing it either}

Toys That Are Dangerous In Real Life(Guns, Knives, Swords, Baby Dolls-as in teaching your child how to care for and to want a baby of their own at a young age, etc. etc.)
{ a big NO, to guns,knives, swords} {a yes to baby dolls for both boys and girls}

I’m not a parent (yet) but I wanted to answer this anyway. =)

1. Abortion – I’m very against abortion, and I do not condone other women having them either.
2. Circumcision – I don’t believe there is any medical reason for one, but I’m not against them. I wouldn’t want to put my baby through that horrible pain, but I also don’t want him to be ashamed either. It’s a tough decision.
3. Baby immunizations – I don’t see a problem with them.
4. Breastfeeding – I’m all for it!
5. Formula – If breastfeeding isn’t an option, yes. (and for breastfeeding for a limited time)
6. Disposable diapers – yes
7. Items not approved by the CPSC – I don’t think I’ve be comfortable with that.
8. Baby wearing – I’m not exactly sure what this is, I’ve looked it up but I forgot.
9. Baby leashes – No!
10. Co-sleeping – Yes, safely.
11. Crying it out – No, I don’t think I could even let my baby do that though either, even if I did.
12. Spoon feeding – Yes
13. Infant ear piercing – Not particularly
14. Baby development tv shows – Only VERY little bits of it is fine
15. Child care centers – Only if needed for a short amount of time
16. Stern voice – Gah, this is another one I probably couldn’t do, even if I believed in it
17. Spanking – absolutely not!
18. Toys that are dangerous in real life – I would probably let my children play with nerf guns and the like, and I don’t see a problem with dolls either… I would just have to make sure they understand how the real things work.

Abortion (Not only would you or wouldn’t you have one but do you/would you condone others getting one.)- no for me (unless I was raped), yes for others (it’s their body to do with as they wish)

Circumcision- yes

Baby Immunization- YES!

Breastfeeding- no for me, but yes for others for the same reason as abortion- their choice

Formula-yes

Disposable Diapers-yes

Items that are not approved by the CPSC (bumpers, car seat extras-straps, covers, head rests. department store sleepers that aren’t approved by the SIDS Association, etc. etc.)-yes

Baby Wearing-not for me

Baby Leashes-not for me

Co-Sleeping-no

Crying It Out-when necessary after a certain age (luckily haven’t had to with my kid)

Spoon Feeding-yes

Infant Ear Piercing-no

Baby Development Television Shows-some

Child Care Centers-not for me because I have a grandma for free!

Stern Voice- Lord YES! Who doesn’t use a stern voice??

Spanking-yes, when necessary

Toys That Are Dangerous In Real Life(Guns, Knives, Swords, Baby Dolls-as in teaching your child how to care for and to want a baby of their own at a young age, etc. etc.)- baby dolls, really?? I’m not big on guns, but I’m not going to totally ban them and make them more desirable.

Abortion- I am against abortion and think it’s wrong to take another persons life because of your mistake. However because the country is so divided on the issue I feel that it should be allowed before 3 months. I still don’t condone it but this is an issue people need to compromise on.
Circumcision- I fully support the procedure when it’s being done to a consenting adult that has decided to do the procedure. I would never condone this being done to a minor or someone against their will. Everyone has the right to their own body. And since the procedure has absolutly no medical benifits why would you do it? (I resent my parents for doing it to me)
Baby Immunization- I personally will not immunize my children untill they are older. The risks for imminizing a child just isn’t worth it. I don’t want my child to develope autism for something that could have waited a couple more years. Even then they will only get what is required for school and everything else will be up to them. Immunization can be important in some cases but I’d rather not put my kids at risk for something when they are so young. I think people are too quick to pump drugs in their kids when it’s not really neccissary.
Breastfeeding- I’m all for. no matter what anyone says breast milk is always better than formula. however everyone should have their own choice on that, I think you should breast feed if you are able though.
Disposible Diapers- I think you should use disposable diapers. (better hygiene)
Baby Wearing- Do what you like on that one.
Baby Leashes- Hey sometimes they are needed. But unless they are it’s best not to treat children like animals.
Co-sleeping- It’s not a good idea after about age 1. In fact it’s a horrible idea, for many reasons. One usually kids have a hard time ever sleeping alone.
Crying it out is important- children need to learn to sothe themselves at some point. You can’t baby them through everything but you don’t neglect them either.
Spoon Feeding- I didn’t realise this was an issue lol
Infant Ear Peircings- BABYS ARE NOT ACCERSSORIES, they are not their to do what ever you want with. People need to learn to respect their children and their bodies. Poke holes in your own bodies! Leave the kids alone. Just because you are a parent doesn’t mean you can do what ever you want to your kid. There are also medical issues that go on with this.
Baby Developement shows- Children actually should watch TV untill they are at least 2 years old because of the effect it has on kids. Other than that kids shouldn’t watch a whole lot of TV. The developement shows are kind of like Wii fit. You can’t get your excercise from a video game and you can’t get brain development from TV
Child Care Centers- They are getting way too out of line with their rules. I want my child to go to an in-home day care. At this point day care has gotten so bad I would hate to put my kids in that environment.
Stern voice- Perfectly fine. However it should only be used to get a kids attention when it’s really needed or when a kid keeps being bad. Don’t use this as the first thing.
Spanking- Kids that grow up in spanking homes are usually more violent. Spanking can be used correctly and if it is then it’s fine.
Toys thing- Really it’s a load of it. Let kids play with what they want.

-Connor

Abortion (Not only would you or wouldn’t you have one but do you/would you condone others getting one.)- No I NEVER would and I do not condone people who do it its MURDER

Circumcision- Yes and my 2 boys had it done

Baby Immunization- Yes all of my kids have there shots

Breastfeeding- Breast is best but some women really cant breasfed like me

Formula- Yes it was a life saver for my kids because I NEVER produced milk

Disposable Diapers- Yes because they r easy lol

Items that are not approved by the CPSC (bumpers, car seat extras-straps, covers, head rests. department store sleepers that aren’t approved by the SIDS Association, etc. etc.)- I still used bumpers and headrest these people are always changing there minds on what is safe and isnt.

Baby Wearing- N o I feel they need to be put down at times

Baby Leashes- no I dont agree therer not dogs they are humans

Co-SleepingCrying It Out- cry it out it works

Spoon Feeding- Ya my kids had to eat

Infant Ear Piercing- Sure why not

Baby Development Television Shows- they are cute but I didnt run out and buy all the Dvds

Child Care Centers- Some Moms have to work dont they

Stern Voice- it works

Spanking- It works and I do spank my children when they get out of line

Toys That Are Dangerous In Real Life(Guns, Knives, Swords, Baby Dolls-as in teaching your child how to care for and to want a baby of their own at a young age, etc- My boys have nerf guns and play war games all the time and my little girl loves baby dolls and I think it teaches her how to be gentle and loving.

Abortion: Against it, to a certain extent. If you didn’t want a child then you should have been a little more responsible, no? Rape is an obvious exception.

Circumcision: No, that’s not my choice to make. I can’t do that to someone *else’s* body. Plus there’s absolutely no need for it, and no benefits to it that condoms and good hygiene accomplish way better, which should be done regardless of whether the man is circumcised or not anyways. Our little boys are born absolutely perfect and do not need surgical altering!

Baby Immunization: I am planning on *selectively* vaccinating my children. Sure I’ll vaccinate my kid, but with everything under the sun? No. There are too many vaccinations these days.

Breastfeeding: Absolutely for. I don’t know why someone would be against breastfeeding lol.

Formula: Would prefer if a mother would breastfeed, but I understand that some women are actually incapable of it (medical problem or something).

Disposable Diapers: For…

Baby Wearing: Either. I know some babies quite enjoy it.

Baby Leashes: Against. If you literally have so little control over your child that you need to put him on a leash to contain him then there’s something wrong with your parenting. Leashes are for dogs.

Co-Sleeping: For. If done correctly, it is actually very safe.

Crying It Out: Against, because babies never cry for no reason. I mean, yeah, you can let him cry for a couple minutes (if he’s just falling asleep or something), but if he’s been crying non-stop for half an hour then go help the poor kid!

Spoon Feeding: Uhm…I didn’t know this was an issue.

Infant Ear Piercing: NO. My child is not my property to alter and decorate at will. Entirely unnecessary.

Baby Development Television Shows: I think a bit of TV is okay, because I think it’s good for the child’s mental development. But I hate it when parents plop their kids in front of the TV for hours and hours every day. Actually I kind of hate the TV when it comes to kids, because I think it’s important for kids to learn how to entertain themselves.

Child Care Centers: I would prefer to leave my child at a grandparent’s or friend’s house if I absolutely can’t take care of them for a couple hours.

Stern Voice: Sure.

Spanking: Resorting to violence should never be necessary. I don’t want to use *pain* on my kids as a form of punishment. I was spanked tons by my father and that just made me absolutely terrified of him. In fact I’m 23 and *still* terrified of him.

Toys That Are Dangerous In Real Life: Not against…I remember playing with some toy guns and swords as a kid lol and I turned out to be a very non-violent person. But of course if my kids do have a toy gun or something, I’ll make it very clear that when it’s a toy it’s alright, but that real guns are very *very* dangerous, and if you see one to not touch it and come tell mommy right away. I’ll just make that distinction.

Abortion-
-I wouldnt and I raise my kids not to. But other people can do as the feel they need to do. If the baby was going to be menatlly challenged or live a life in pain or torment..I’d abort

Circumcision
Not nessecery
