    It's really hard not to doubt yourself isn't it?..But it sounds like you are doing brilliantly ..you have found a way of parenting that works for you and something that you love- well done! I love our sling because I feel like I am really making the most of all those baby cuddles! and they are so very precious. I don't want to leave my baby in it's bed all alone, crying itself to sleep..I want it safely snuggled into me

    Also wanted to say that I found that with my first bub I really let everyone elses attitudes and comments get to me, but second time round I feel very confident in how my DH care for our little ones. So just be strong and believe what you are doing!

    Its funny cause family would comment about starting bad habits but strangers would come up to me and say what a great idea. Esp elderly woman would ask me about it and say they wish they had that in their day.
    I just would smile and say we do what works for us, you can do what works for you.
