I tell people that my DD sleeps through the night, is a very good baby, blah blah blah what they want to hear.

She DOES she through the night.....in between the feeds that occur every 3 or 4 hours and she IS a good baby for most of the time so its not all lies! And it keeps people off my back, since I'm obviously doing everything right they can't give me any helpful advice.
Winter I do EXACTLY the same when asked about DS's sleeping habits - why are babies judges being good based on whether they sleep through the night? Sure I'd LOVE him to sleep through the night but I certainly dont consider him a bad or naughty baby

My stoooooooooooopid MIL told me on my first Mothers Day that I was 'spoiling' my baby by giving him too many cuddles (AS IF!!), the only thing she achieved by that statement is that I am now very unwilling to hand him to HER for cuddles - after all MIL-dearest, we dont want to spoil him do we?
