Helpful (?) Advice

Mom and Gram came over and spent a good chunk of the day with Lily and me. Mom was up because Grandpa had a colonoscopy this morning and she was worried, mostly about Gram. Gram was very lucid and the visit was nice. We had lunch at Jimmy John's (baby's first Jimmy John's! :-p). I will say that it is interesting to hear the comments and suggestions that Mom and Gram make regarding Mothering/Parenting. To me it is simply a refection on the changing advice of the medical community. They both suggest things that I think would be detramental, such as that she has diaper rash because she "doesn't like your milk" (Gram), or that I should give her bottles with water or cerial for my own benefit because she eats so much (Mom). I love them both, and I know they loved there kids and did a good job raising them, and that they love, adore, and dote on Lily, but there is some advice I will never follow. It is sometimes best to just smile and nod.
