I'm lucky that I found other mothers locally who are practicing natural parenting. However, I love that there is an online community of mom bloggers from whom I continue to learn so much. So for every look of concern you get over mentioning something like co-sleeping, there's probably someone like me reading one of your posts and nodding along in solidarity. .-= NavelgazingBajanÂ´s last blog ..At 10 Months Old =-.

@Michelle Caplan, Thank you Michelle, that's a lovely thing to say. I have found that there are three types of people: Those who don't know and don't want to know, those who don't know and find out more when they are made aware and those who already know and follow, or choose otherwise. The only ones you can really make a difference to are those who want to know. Good luck. I hope you are able to make your choices public and that you have support!

@Melodie, Thanks for stopping by to comment Melodie! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! You are definitely blessed to have had a supportive group around you. I feel like an alien more often than not - so much so that there are days where I just don't go as being the sole voice of non-conformity can be really tiring sometimes. But, I wouldn't change it. I'm so grateful to my rolemodels for showing me this way - the thought of not knowing is quite frightening. .-= LuschkaÂ´s last blog ..Amber Teething Necklace Giveaway =-.

@Dionna @ Code Name: Mama, Thanks for the comment Dionna. I agree - as much as I write for myself, to record my thoughts and to share what I've learned, it really is those moms who email me or comment to say thank you that make all the difference. Thanks for co-hosting the carnival!

I’m the definition of non-confrontational too! But have found strength when it comes to sticking to my parenting decisions.

I am in a conventional mothers’ group and have actually found that what I imagine they might think about me and my ideas is far more judgmental than anything that would ever pop into their heads.

You are wonderful! I had hyperemesis in both pregnancies so I totally feel for you, it was mis-managed as well. I think so many of us hate confrontation, especially when it comes to parenting because it's SUCH a sensitive topic. .-= Sarah @ OneStarryNightÂ´s last blog ..Iâ€™m a Parenting Inspiration, Who Knew! =-.
