i hate to think what your mum would make of me then! my DS is 1 & wakes up 5-6 times a night!! and he & i co-sleep on a mattress on his bedroom floor - the horror!!

but seriously, i think you already know that it's not realistic advice & i completely understand your frustration. i think sometimes people have forgotten what it's like to have a baby & even if they haven't, they've forgotten that not only all babies are different but all parents are different too & we do what we feel is right for our families.

seems to me like you're doing a wonderful job
