In my child's tiny life (all 4 1/2 months of it) I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes. Some I've realised straight away, and some I'll look back on in 5,10,15 years and wonder how my child survived.
I am a cloth nappy using, breast feeding, co-sleeping, amber teething necklace wearing, boogie picking, finger licking then face wiping, vaccinating, attachment mother. (and I'd like to think I'm a MILF too)
She plays on a mat on the floor that does not get disinfected after every use.
She showers with me everyday, and sometimes swallows some of the unsterile shower water during her squeals of delight.
Her toys don't get sterilized after every play time, or at all, just thrown in the washing machine if they get too grubby.
And I certainly don't disinfect my hands all day (I don't carry hand sanitizer or have any in my house - I believe in good old soap and water).
In my child's short life she's had one cold - which turned out to be teething and not a cold at all.
She's had one small stomach bug that lasted less than 12 hours.
So although she may not live in the most sterile environment, she's a healthy little bugger and I don't regret my decisions so far!
Don't regret the things that you've done for your child, when you do them with your child's best interest at heart. We can only do so much.
