Sue, firstly big

Well meaning family can often be so very frustrating. My best advice to you is to listen to them and take on board only what you want to take on board.

Babies are all so different, some may sleep through from the day you bring them home, others (like my son!) won't sleep through until they're 18 months.

There are many different ways of parenting as well, I co-slept with DS as well and hated hearing how I was creating a rod for my back, but I guess I just got used to the comments and just smiled and nodded at them all the while thinking I know better, and I did. Do what YOU feel is right

You're doing a great job!
