How Crunchy Are You?

All natural, in a hospital. At a birth center, with a midwife. At home, unassisted. At home, with a midwife. Epidural Please! In a hospital for sure. Epidural optional.

I'll do whatever my pediatrician says is best. I'll leave this one up to hubby. No way! Not a chance! Of course! Is there any other choice? Only if there was a medical reason to do so. The jury is still out on this one.

Cloth diapers make great burp cloths! Cloth diapers that I made and wash myself. Cloth diapers that I wash myself. Cloth diapers that the diaper service washes. Cloth or disposables...depends on what's going on at the time. I wish I could cloth diaper, but I can't get my hubby on board.

Combination of breastmilk and formula supplements. Exclusively breastfeeding at least 6 months, wean before age 3. Exclusively breastfeeding until 1 yr, and child-led weaning after that. Formula is just as good or better than breastmilk. I pump so I can work or because my baby wouldn't take to the breast. I wanted to breastfeed, but didn't have the enough support/information.

Baby has his/her own bed in his/her own room, but comes to our bed when he/she has trouble sleeping or in the early mornings so we can all sleep a little longer.

How do you wear a baby? I wear my baby most of the time, but use the occassional stroller/shopping cart. I wear my baby whenever we're out, but at home we have other I'm all about the baby wearing both at home and when we're out and about. We do a combination of stroller/cart and babywearing, depending on where we're going. We use a stroller or shopping cart most of the time and wear him/her when he/she is too fussy.

I do not vaccinate my children, but might if something dangerous became an issue near me or if we were visiting a country with high-risk for dangerous diseases. I will not vaccinate my children, under ANY circumstances. Of course we vaccinate! Our pediatrician says it's necessary! The jury is still out...I need to do more research. We vaccinate fully, but on a delayed schedule. We vaccinate, but VERY selectively and on a VERY delayed schedule.

Homeschool - all the way. Homeschool for now, might change to public/private shool later Homeschool, at least until Middle School. Montesorri School Public education is the way for us. Public school for now, but am considering homeschool as well.

Lambskin condoms every time. Latex condoms - every time. NFP is all I use. NFP w/ condoms when I'm fertile. Snip snip baby! The pill or other hormonal birth control.

I buy cloth protection. I currently use disposable products, but am considering cloth or re-usable products in the future. I make my own cloth protection. I use a combination of cloth/re-usable and disposable products. I use a re-usable product like Diva Cup or Sea Sponge Um...people re-use that stuff? Gross!

Head straight to the doctor and take whatever he will give me! Let the body fight infection off naturally - it actually strengthens the immune system. Take some OTC meds and wait for it to pass. Try some homeopathic remedies first, and resort to OTC meds if necessary. Try some OTC meds for a day or two, then go to the doctor if symptoms don't go away. Use homeopathy to treat symptoms and rest as much as possible.

I only shave occassionally, when I really have to. I'm quite fuzzy most of the time. I only shave seasonally (shorts season, etc.) I shave daily or every other day at most. I shave regularly, but no more than once a week. I shave, but only partially (legs, but not pits, or vice versa). Never - I'm all natural.

Always barefoot at home, but sandals almost always when going out. Always barefoot or sandals at home, but shoes and socks whenever I go out. Always barefoot whenever possible/safe. I wear shoes & socks or dress shoes all day, every day. Sandals/slip-ons at home, shoes/socks or dress shoes when going out. Usually barefoot at home, sandals for going out most of the time, but sometimes wear shoes/socks or dress shoes as well.

I make about half of my family's clothes, and buy the rest from thrift/consignment stores or friends. I buy clothes made from organic fabrics whenever possible. I make most of my family's clothes, using a combination of organic and non-organic fabrics. I make the occasional clothing item, and buy the rest. I make/sew all my family's clothes myself using mostly organic fabrics. I'm a department store kinda girl! I'm a thrift-shopper. Consignment sales too.

About half the time - depending on my mood. Extremely rarely - only for very special occasions (weddings and other important events) Full face make-up every day. Light/natural make-up most days. Never. I don't even own any. Occasionally, when dressing up for something, and even then it's only very light/natural make-up.

I recycle the obvious stuff, but the rest goes in the trash. I look for recycled products, but only purchase them some of the time. I use reusable shopping bags and try to creatively re-use common items in my home before getting rid of them. I look for and purchase recycled products whenever reasonable. I use the recycle bins that the city gives me pretty regularly. I don't pay much attention to whether or not the products I buy are recycled or not. No, it's just not my thing. Only because it's required in my area. Whenever and whatever I possibly can! And I try to only buy products make out of recycled materials.
