15 things you should never do to your baby – despite what people tell you
When you have a baby or are expecting, parenting advice comes thick and fast from all directions whether you want it or not. Some of it is great but the rest can be down right dangerous!
We asked our readers for the most bonkers advice people have ever given them and what they dished out should absolutely be ignored.
Bonkers baby advice #2: Beer for good burps
Sure, trapped wind can be a big issue with newborns, but dishing out beer to bring up the burps? That’s a nope!
Holly says: “A doctor told me my 5 week old son was ‘naughty’ if he still wouldn’t settle after a feed, burp, change and cuddle … same doctor also told me to put beer in his mouth to help him burp. Needless to say, we changed doctors.”
Definitely a wise choice, Holly!
