So how do you handle people (like my mum - god love her) who don't believe in the research. I'm lucky she's almost on my side as she's the one who told me to take Maya into bed with me in the first place. But she does believe that I need to put her in her own bed now (she's 3 months) or she'll never leave ours (I'm trying but she's not ready yet). She doesn't believe in any research I could quote because she thinks it's just another fad (just like CC). it's hard to argue when she brought you up...
Oh and then she keeps telling me about a friend's 3 year old who keeps throwing bad temper tantrums because the parents let him do whatever he wants including sleeping in there bed. She doesn't understand that co-sleeping doesn't equal letting them do whatever forever.
My MIL (and other people around me) on the other hand gently criticises me for being too soft. She's my DH's stepmom and has never had a baby of her own, so she's not too pushy. But when I tell her that I think we're on the right track as I have a child who got into the day/night rhythm at 5 weeks and who doesn't cry much during the day and never at night or bed time. She just says: "Of course she doesn't cry, she doesn't have a reason to because you do whatever she wants" What, and that's a bad thing that I don't give my child a reason to cry???

I don't see a reason to change in a hurry as we're all getting a decent night's sleep, I have a very happy baby and I actually love the cuddles at night and waking up to a big smile from my girl.
