Lessons from real life: I almost ruined my child!

Psychologists say that ideal mothers do not exist and there is no need to focus on the bad, because mistakes in raising children make all, even the most responsible and organized parents. Parenting and caring for a child is a difficult path that everyone goes his own way. The main thing is to draw conclusions correctly and not make repeated mistakes.

There are situations in the life of every mother, remembering which trembling passes through the body. It seems that he is ready to give everything in order to turn back the clock and prevent what has happened. But, unfortunately, this is impossible ... You need to live on, drawing painful lessons from your mistakes.

imperfect mom

There are a lot of situations that I do not want to remember, but we want to describe the most unpleasant of them separately. Read carefully the frank stories of the mothers that they shared with us, and try to do everything to protect your children from this.

Overfeeding baby

Victoria, 22 years old:

My Sonya, from birth, was very fond of eating, constantly asked for breasts, and, if offered, she also took lure with pleasure. And she was always not enough, the business was never limited to one portion, she could eat immediately 2-3. I was a little embarrassed, but it was so great when she got enough and sleeps soundly. Scarecrow one: when the portion was over, Sonya rolled up tantrums, demanding more. My grandmother (my mother) began to “saw me”: “He doesn’t eat enough, is it a pity to give your child more? Stop starving him! ”

“He doesn’t eat up, are you sorry to give the child more? Stop starving him! ”

And I decided that my Sonya just needed more than others ... So that you understand, I fed her while she opened her mouth and fell asleep almost with a breast or a spoon in her mouth. And sincerely did not understand why the child is constantly scary diathesis (at first only cheeks poured, and then pens, legs, body).

But once a terrible thing happened - at first Sonya couldn’t poop for three days. On the fourth - her tummy was swollen, vomiting began. She poor thing was so tormented and screaming! And then there was an ambulance, a hospital, washing, droppers ... As it turned out, the digestive tract could not digest so much food. It’s good that it all ended so, and there could be a gut twist ... In a word, science for the rest of my life.

Doctors twisted a finger at the temple, when I proved that I just wanted the best ...

Child overheating

Ekaterina, 25 years old:

Like any normal mother, when Zakhar was born here, I really shook him, worried for any reason, went too far in everything (as I understand it now).

It seems that she was theoretically savvy, read magazines for expectant mothers, forums.But there is so much information, it is often contradictory ... In short, even in the hospital, my husband and I carefully watched that the child was warmly dressed. Beanie, vest, romper suit, warm blanket. On the one hand, it was winter, on the other - it was so hot in the hospital that it was unbearable to breathe. Airing saved for a short while. And then, when aired, Zakhar was carried away to another warm place.

The same thing continued at home. In the room - always a slip of cotton, a suit on the fleece, a hat, a blanket. On the street at -3 - several layers of clothing, two hats, a warm envelope, a blanket. The child was almost always restless (as we later realized, from overheating).

And once, a walk on the street ended in a hospital with a temperature of about forty due to the fact that we overheated the child, he was very sweaty, and when he was “merciful” and removed the blanket, he was very cold in wet clothes.

Thank God that the doctors explained everything to us “intelligibly” and we reached conclusions on time.

Too much talk is not always good

Svetlana, 30 years old:

I have always been firmly convinced that you need to constantly talk with children so that they can speak early. When I found out that I became pregnant (this was the first late pregnancy), I almost immediately started talking with Dianochka.

When she was born, I began to communicate with her with even greater zeal! Literally all the time when she did not sleep, I talked to her. She talked about everything in the world (about the weather, about nature, about our family, read poetry and fairy tales, pronounced her every step).

And, apparently, she overdid it ... Because by the time she was about a year old, my daughter listened to me less than everyone else in the family, she didn’t always pay attention when I called her.

Dad asks for a toy - gives, grandmother calls - it fits, but zero attention to me. She reacted to the word "not," if anyone said it, but not me.

And, as a result - once I could not prevent an accident, although I was very close. Dianka went to the table and began to pull the tablecloth over herself, and on the table stood a cup of hot tea. I didn’t have time to run up, and my cries of “impossible” didn’t help, as if my daughter hadn’t heard! As a result, the cup fell on her head, without miraculously breaking it, but my child received burns.

Dianka was so used to my chatter that she did not even attach much importance to my words, perceiving them as background noise.

Not watched

Tatyana, 24 years old:

With Timoshka I was always very neat and attentive. I always thought about whether he was completely safe now, what could theoretically happen and did everything to save him. And before the year we had almost no problems.

But once we went on a visit, it was so fun there, I relaxed a bit, and my alertness became dull. And when I literally went out into the kitchen for a minute, I heard the cry of a child, ran into the room and almost lost consciousness. The son lay on the floor as pale as a wall and literally went from crying. It turned out that Timka put a thin metal part from a typewriter into a power outlet and he was severely shocked. Thank God it all ended well.

So in a matter of minutes, anything can happen.
