I think yes, but only because of the "You Should" gang.

"You Should"... have the baby sleep alone. Co sleeping eliminates the need for baby monitors, but sleeping alone means the SIDS risk is there and a monitor is needed. Then again, if we had a big house I would have a monitor just for when DS was asleep and I was in the kitchen or the garden.
"You Should"... with crying; if we listened to our instincts and not the gang then we wouldn't need to be told it's OK to comfort a crying baby because no-one would have thought to do otherwise. Therefore no angst about discipline methods as we'd be doing the right thing, which is the natural thing and not second-guessing ourselves (btw, I don't call beating a child right OR natural, that is a learned behaviour from when beating was considered acceptable and needs to stop now so our children don't even consider it).
"You Should"... eat fresh, organic food. Well, we've only needed to do that since ready made stuff was marketed so much to us and we started to mess up the environment with pesticides and chemicals.
I don't use products for DS either; people think I'm mad for rarely using baby wipes, let alone no soap on DS's skin. Same with the fact I'm "brave" for using cloth nappies. If there weren't over-priced baby products and throwaway nappies no-one would think twice about it.

When DS is older he will be going out to play. He can go out on his bike with his friends for a ride. He can go to the local park without me holding his hand all the way (although he will be watched, just not helicopter-mothered). I won't let him go to the park in the dark, but that's a silly thing to do and not over-paranoid IMO.

I don't sterilise either - hot soapy water is good enough for me, so as I'm BFing any antibacterial things I have will go to DS, so hot soapy water must be good enough for him. Things drop on the floor at home, he can have them right back; what will he be getting in his mouth when he crawls anyway? Falling outside then they're taken away, but that's not a bad thing!
