I think it's about balance. I don't believe babies should be forced into rigid routines for the convenience of the parents but I also don't think that the baby's needs should absolutely come before the mother's every single time either. As Captain said, if you're always putting yourself, your needs, your desires etc last and you end up suffering mentally, emotionally of physically because of that, then what good are you to your family?
I don't think anyone disputes that every child deserves a happy, healthy mum and that every mum deserves to be just that. So I think it's up to each one of us to decide what works best for our families.
**ETA: Umm, yeah - what Nelle said! LOL.
