Yeah this whole section is alarmist fearmongering nonsense lmao

Look man you don't have to use bleach but let's not pretend tea tree oil isn't a strong product

It's capable of causing chemical burns

Fully this is just a breastfeeding book pretending to be a parenting book

Over half of the content is just this lady formula shaming and waxing poetic about the magic of breast milk and it's genuinely really fetishising and gross.

Oh my gd she's talking about breastfeeding AGAIN

DO NOT DO CHIROPRACTIC TO TREAT COLIC HOLY FUCKING SHIT

"Some doctors say it's not safe"

YEAH BECAUSE IT FUCKING ISNT

CHIROPRACTIC ISNT SAFE FOR ADULTS IN A LOT OF CASES BECSUSE ITS FAKE

At least she says to ask your pediatrician but holy fucking shit just tell parent to not do it ever good gd

Eugh not suggesting you do "cry it out" for colic what the fuck

Full offense Heidi but if you can't say "what do you do if the baby cries while you're having sex" and instead decide to use a weird euphemism like "finishing a little business in the bedroom" then idk if you're mature enough to be writing a parenting book

Another thing I don't like is how instead of just saying "your baby" or "your infant" or even just "your child" she keeps opting instead for stuff like "your sweetie"

IF YOU DONT STOP SAYING TUMMY ABOUT THE STOMACHS OF ADULT WOMEN I WILL LOSE NY FUCKING MIND

It's giving formula shaming and mythologizing of breast feeding and breast milk

Which is horrible and actively harmful
