Things You Read in Parenting Books or Mags that were Untrue

I was just thinking about this after reading a post from someone whose baby hates tummy time. Mine does too, so do a lot of babies from what I hear. But the parenting books and magazines I read constantly talked about how much babies LOVE tummy time. Maybe some do, but I haven't stumbled upon many yet. So I was confused when my little guy hated it.

What other advice did you read that doesn't seem so accurate?

I think all babie do not like it in the beginning but once they roll over and are use to being on their tummy's it changes. This what I noticed with my children anyway.

In the Baby Whisperer book she talks about the dream feed at about 11 pm. Maybe this works for other people, but there is no way I would wake DS up at 11 pm to feed him. At about 8 weeks, he would go to sleep with no problems at about 7 - 7:30, wake at about 3- 3:30 for a bottle and then wake at 7 am again. I wasn't going to disrupt what I thought was a pretty good block of sleep for an 11:00 feed. He is now sleeping through the night, I just stopped the 3 am feed one night and he eats more during the day now.

The tummy time thing changes. DS hated it but now that he can roll and is trying to crawl he is on his tummy all day.
