Somet...Most of the time, it’s best to say nothing. Sometimes, though, you can gently offer advice. You might bring up a subject as a subject of discussion, instead of offering advice. For example, “What do you think of …..?”<br />Then again, when it comes to frankensugar (high fructose corn syrup), I do my utmost to not feed that to ANYONE. To feed it to a baby is way out of bounds. Calling the doctor for advice with a constipated baby is definitely the way to go. I think I would have felt compelled to diplomatically speak up.<br />You’re a great mom, Jessie. Not everyone is. One thing you need to remember, though, is that you aren’t responsible for others’ behavior, as hard as that may be. I can say that because I’m a recovering enabler – I know how hard it is. The best thing you can do is set a good example (which you do) and follow what I said above. Only intervene when it’s critical and do what you can to educate carefully.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199525687950862259noreply@blogger.com
