Thanks girls.

Oh I like that - it's about contented parents, not babies!
See that's the thing - I love Pinky and I have read a couple of her books, but I don't think my specific situation has been addressed directly in any of them...

I guess I compare myself to other mums A LOT - you know, the ones you have it all together... baby sleeps 12 hours a night etc.
My sister-in-law is a doula, and was going on about how because she followed Gina Ford's routines from an early age, her baby is a 'good' sleeper. Actually, writing this, I now realize this is why I picked up the book at the library. Hmmm...

All this stuff just makes me doubt myself! I feel like a bad parent because I had no clue about these things.... I just figured that you did what you were comfortable with, and what worked....
My baby is happy....
I just keep feeling like I've missed the boat or something.... But reading these forums, a lot of us are in the same boat and it's not necessarily a bad thing.
