[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get where you are coming from - I had kids 5-7 years before most of my friends did. But i also agree with others that it's kind of annoying/dismissive to say that some of these decisions don't matter. I think the right approach is talking about your own experience with this stuff instead of giving any advice. For instance, I have a lot of friends who agonize over breastfeeding, which I did too when i had my first. I often share my experience, which is that I had massive anxiety and lost sleep and precious time with my infant trying to increase my supply, and I regret that because we were both happier and healthier when I switched to combo feeding. And that's it - no "so you should do X," but just listen and empathize, and I think your friends will benefit from the wisdom you share that way.[/quote]
