10 Parenting Tips from the 90’s That Are Now Considered Taboo
The 90s were a time of great change in the world of parenting. Many of the parenting tips and techniques that were popular at the time are no longer followed by new parents today. Here are 10 parenting tips from the 90s that new parents no longer follow:
Letting babies cry it out
In the 90s, it was common for parents to let their babies cry it out when they were upset or needed attention. However, today’s parents are more likely to respond to their baby’s needs and provide comfort and reassurance.
Using baby walkers
Baby walkers were a popular item in the 90s, but they are now considered dangerous and are not recommended by pediatricians.
Putting babies to sleep on their stomachs
In the 90s, it was common for parents to put their babies to sleep on their stomachs. However, this practice is now known to increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and parents are advised to put their babies to sleep on their backs.
Spanking as discipline
In the 90s, spanking was a common form of discipline. However, today’s parents are more likely to use positive discipline techniques that focus on teaching and reinforcing good behavior.
Feeding babies solid food too early
In the 90s, it was common for parents to start feeding their babies solid food at a very young age. However, today’s parents are advised to wait until their baby is at least 6 months old before introducing solid foods.
Using disposable diapers exclusively
In the 90s, disposable diapers were the norm. However, today’s parents are more likely to use cloth diapers, which are better for the environment and can save money in the long run.
Not using car seats or seat belts
In the 90s, it was common for parents to let their kids ride in the car without a car seat or seat belt. However, today’s parents are well aware of the importance of car safety and always use car seats and seat belts.
Not breastfeeding
In the 90s, formula feeding was the norm, and breastfeeding was not as widely accepted. However, today’s parents are more likely to breastfeed their babies, as it provides numerous health benefits for both the baby and mother.
Ignoring mental health issues
In the 90s, mental health issues in children were often ignored or dismissed. However, today’s parents are more aware of the importance of mental health and are more likely to seek help and support for their children if they are struggling.
Not using sunscreen
In the 90s, sunscreen was not as widely used as it is today. However, today’s parents are well aware of the dangers of sun exposure and always use sunscreen to protect their children’s skin.
