Ivana there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. My MCHN used to question me, but not anymore. At our last visit Maggie was what she classified as "advanced". So all she could do was tell me to keep on doing what I was doing. She knew that we co-slept etc, but she could not argue against it.

I had one particular incident with Maggie where I am so glad I picked her up. We were staying at the grandparents, she was in the bassinet beside us (early days she slept in it quite happily). The night started out very hot, but later it became very cold very quickly, quite unexpectedly. I heard her quietly and I when I picked her up, I noticed how cold she was, quickly feed her and got her into bed with us. I hate to think what would have happened had I ignored that cry. So now I firmly believe that picking up a crying baby is the right thing to do and I sometimes the only way to work out what is wrong (nappy explosions etc)

Hope you feel better after your vent
