<\/p>\nEVERY mum has their own parenting style when it comes to raising their children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From being strict with routines, or more relaxed with the types of foods they eat – everyone has different thoughts on how you should and shouldn\u2019t parent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And one mum has shared her \u201ccontroversial\u201d style when it comes to raising her first born.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beth, who goes by the name of \u2018everythingbethhh' on TikTok, is a single mum raising her son.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beth has taken to her social media page to share a video which shows how she brings her son up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She first starts off by saying how she isn\u2019t afraid to let her son be with her dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beth says: \u201cI\u2019ve never kept the dog away from him – even as a newborn.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI want him to grow up loving animals as much as I do and the dog needs to learn how to be around him.\u201d<\/p>\n Her second point she makes about her parenting style is that she is a fan of \u201cdanger play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Beth continues: \u201cHe gets to explore and climb whatever he wants, I\u2019ll only intervene if there is a risk he will get hurt if I don\u2019t do something.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Beth also explains that she co-sleeps with her son.<\/p>\n She says: \u201cAt his cost he\u2019ll keep a maximum of 40 minutes at a time, in my bed he\u2019ll sleep three to four hours at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n Beth says that she has continued to feed her nine month old son a bottle during the night between 2-4am.<\/p>\n She adds that she doesn\u2019t have a \u201cmeal schedule\u201d either.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beth continues: \u201cI just look for hunger queues, he can eat as much or little as he likes.\u201d<\/p>\n And she doesn\u2019t have a \u201cnap schedule\u201d either.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI just watch for sleep queues even if that means he naps at 5\/6pm.. He\u2019ll just go to bed later,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n \u201cBath him no more than twice a week unless he\u2019s gotten extra messy during the day.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s allowed chocolate, ice cream; just small amounts but I\u2019m happy for him to try anything and share my treats, desserts too.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally Beth explains that she is reaping all the benefits from \u201ccontact napping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n She says: \u201cI will soak in all the cuddles as much as I can before he doesn\u2019t want anymore. \u201cAlso helps me slow down\u201d<\/p>\n The video has attracted loads of attention, with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n One wrote: \u201cContact naps were my favourite. My son had never napped or fallen asleep without being on me until he was 9 months then didn't want the cuddles.\u201d<\/p>\n Another added: \u201cFor once a real mama that doesn't make me feel bad for half of these things I do too!!\u201d<\/p>\n To which Beth replied: \u201cYessss! We\u2019re all doing our best mama.\u201d<\/p>\n A third said: \u201cYou\u2019ve made me feel so much better, mum shaming needs to stop as long as baby is happy and healthy that\u2019s all what matters\u201d.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/JW-CLEVER-MUM-HACKS-COMP-1.jpg\")
