I didn't say never but I wasn't planning to use a pacifier but this kid literally needs to be sucking all the time! He uses his handle a lot too but we are using pacifier.

Never will I ever not give baby a daily bath.
My sisters both said that their kids skin was too sensitive for daily baths. My lo has regular skin I don't have the energy for it. Plus he never gets that dirty it can't wait. Now I feel bad having judged them.
Put my preschooler in front of the TV so I could get a nap. Coming from a c-sec and caring for the baby all night made it really exhausting for me to entertain her the whole day. I had to take a nap
I'm too heavy a sleeper to bring her into bed with me eta: otherwise, I'm sure I would have caved on that.
I caved on the paci use pretty quickly. I would have sooner if H hadn't been so adamant about waiting until she was 5 weeks (and even then I wore him down to give her one at 4.5 weeks).

Bed sharing, I didn't mean to but sleep deprived mommies tend to pass out :/ I will say it was only a newborn phase, he now sleeps in his crib all night at 5 weeks.

Anyone else with a toddler have too many to count? My list of I'll nevers was about a mile long and I was so judgmental of other Moms. After having DS the karma train brought me a huge delivery of humble pie.
The only thing for infants I said I wouldn't do is cosleeping - but that went out the window by day 3. I feel like I have more for toddlers since I've seen my niece and nephew become spoiled. My brother bought my niece a tablet when she was 2...totally unnecessary IMO. And my sister lets my nephew dictate what he eats. At dinner the other night she made exactly what he asked for, then he refused to eat any of it and gave him a cupcake.
I have to admit, I'm so happy to hear all these momma's are bed sharing. I didn't want to and he slept fine by himself in the NICU, but something changed when we got home.

Pacifier - ds1 never had one but ds2 has had one since 1 week. He sucked the nail off my finger at 2 days old and it totally freaked me out. I'm pretty sure 2 day olds are not ready to digest finger nails. Yuck I know - but yay for pacifier.
Cosleeping - I still have not done this because I am a sound sleeper and it really would not be safe for us but ds sleeps in a cradle beside our bed...,not in his crib in his room.
Screen time - since baby came home our tv has never been on so much. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I know, I'm so surprised that so many of us ended up doing it. Especially since the pediatrician asks us like 3 times a visit about her sleeping on her back in her own bed and we're like yep! I'm guessing our doc isn't the only one. But I'd like to know how these magician doctora get their own babies to sleep in their beds!

Bed sharing, and I haven't out of sheer terror.
Sleeping in a separate room, and I have--I'm in the guest and DH and LO are in the master until LO and I are both better at the whole sleeping thing.
Paci, and I haven't... yet.
Nursing in public without a cover, and I totally have. Proud of myself for that one, though; the reasons I didn't think I would were not because I thought doing so was wrong!
