Crunchy Moms

— by Tiffany in Tidbits

We natural moms have a bunch of labels like hippie, granola, and even crunchy. Well, I get asked all the time what in the world crunchy means so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Urban Dictionary online has a definition for crunchy mama.

Crunchy Mama:

Mother who supports homebirth, breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, gentle discipline, etc. One who questions established medical authority; tends to be vegetarian and/or prepare all-organic foods. See crunchy and hippie.

So by this definition are you a crunchy mama?

    YEP! Except for the vegetarian part here too, but I was as a teen.

    Yes to all…we lean in the vegetarian direction but wouldn’t label ourselves as strictly vegetarian. :-)

    Yes, everything but the last part. :)

    Not vegetarian at all, and didn’t CD but yes to the rest plus extended nursing.

    My own version of the set, but so pleased to see this… Never once have I allowed or even desired to be “labeled” or associated with a label, but alas, I willingly have pasted this label on my forehead. ;)

    No to home birth and vegitarian even though I decide to be vegan about every day just can’t stick to it. Yes to everything else.

    I consider myself crunchy, but not restricted to a particular definition of the title. I support homebirth and breastfeeding, but all my babies are adopted, so I have done neither.
    I also support baby wearing, cloth diapering, and co-sleeping, but am not sure what ‘gentle discipline’ is. What it sounds like is not disciplining at all, so I’m out on that one.
    I question established medical authority by doing my own research before and after a diagnosis, but I don’t shun it as a whole.
    We eat a lot of vegetarian and as much organic foods as possible, but we also eat meat when we want it, and eat out just as often as we eat in.
    So, I’m crunchy in my own right, and own way. ;)
