So I’m pregnant with a baby girl & my man is great.. but there’s certain things that kinda annoy me and I wanna hear other woman opinions! So we aren’t getting out baby vaccinated , he doesn’t wanna put her in school those 2 , 1,0000 understandable he doesn’t want to feed her certain cereals ex: corn flakes & now diapers he doesn’t want to use no Huggies on her and wants to do research on diapers after my parents bought us 4 boxes and I would hate to make my parents feel bad..

I'm not sure how not vaccinating is understandable. The benefits greatly outweigh the risks.
Regarding the corn flakes and Huggies, what is his reasoning? Is it a valid reason, or some hearsay from the internet? If you decide not to use Huggies,both Target and Walmart will return up to like $200 of items without a receipt so you can buy the diapers you want, or use it on something else entirely. You don't have to tell your parents, or tell them you decided to go with a more environmentally friendly version, or even cloth!
My parents got it from sams & the stuff they put in vaccines now in days and how babies react to the vaccines and the side affects . Giving a child a vaccine only has them to not be hospitalized and a child vaccinated still ends up hospitalized. And what he reads on the internet about cereal and how Huggies contains chlorine which is bleach to make them white !

Due to religious purposes my child isn’t getting vaccinated, I personally don’t like Luvs or Huggies diapers & depending on baby skin as it can be sensitive & break baby out and those brands leak so we’ll be using other brands, pertaining to the cereal aspect it may contain items he feels may harm the child based upon ingredients and schooling I get since larger schools don’t tend help child learn and develop as smaller teacher to child ratio schools does help kids learn better for educational purposes; so although his ask and annoying they’re not unreasonable; just consider it’s his child as well and just like you don’t wanna do anything to harm her neither does he
I’ve took his thoughts into consideration already with the not vaccinating her when I was going to and not getting her ears pierced it’s just the diapers thing where I feel like it’s a little much . We don’t know what our baby will do good with until we try it anyways ! @tau

You could keep 1 box and take the other 3 and get other brands so u can figure out what works best to not offend your parents and him and then if they don’t work out u won’t have all these extra boxes going unused

we are vaccinating, but i’m very serious about using non toxic/low toxic products. we’ve decided to try honest & baby cozy diapers because they are both total chlorine free. there are other options as well. Like others said, I know certain stores will allow exchanges with unopened diapers. If you’re willing to just use them because you have them, it’s fine (as long as they don’t break your baby out) because it’s such a short time. or you can try to sell on FB marketplace if it comes down to it

Since you asked for opinions I’m here to offer mine even though it might contradict yours - but I strongly urge vaccinating your sweet baby girl. Medical professionals both at the hospital and your pediatricians office will recommend it. Trust the professionals who take care of moms and children every day. That decision will have profoundly more significant impacts on your child than deciding what diaper to use.
I was going to get her vaccinated my bf is so against it , he believes on more natural remedies more than anything

I'm not trying to start anything, but this is a super important topic. Natural remedies are great for colds, sniffles, even some infections. Natural remedies will not help against whooping cough, polio, measles, rubella, etc. These are diseases that have vaccines for a reason- they kill and permanently disable children. Personally, I can't take that risk. I would rather face the (unproven) side effects of a vaccine (whether you believe that to be autism or whatever) than face the death of my child from a PREVENTABLE disease.
There are some people who cannot get vaccinated for religious or health reasons, but everyone that can SHOULD.

Please know I write all that with love for you and your child- even if I don't know you!
I don’t take offense , I’m the one that made the post too hear others ! But thank you ! Because I do wanna get her vaccinated but my bf is annoying about it and it caused a huge argument between us because I would feel so guilty if something happened to my babygirl

I think it's enough of big deal to stand your ground on. This is something that will affect the rest of her life. Give him the corn flakes and diapers and get her vaccinated!
This is also NOT best practice, but you could also do it without him knowing. I wouldn't normally recommend going behind someone's back, but if that's the only way... might be worth it?
How do you think I can go about that ? Like he’s already requesting for me to make her appointments on his days off I think he doesn’t trust me Lmaoooo

You can talk with a Dr about it at the hospital when he goes to the bathroom or to get food. I'm not exactly sure. Maybe schedule one appt when he is working because "it's the only time they had available." Or call the dr. one day when he's at work and talk with them about it.

I personally don’t think your partner is too much. It sounds like he really cares. I agree on the stuff he’s saying. Yes it sucks our society sells bleached diapers, and our school system sucks, and certain foods are harmful to our bodies but that doesn’t mean we should still consume it to make life easier.
What about the vaccines ?
