It's funny but until I fell pregnant it never occurred to me that the way I always thought parenting should be was not the "fashionable" way.

I never thought I'd let my baby sleep on his/her own room or let them cry themselves to sleep. But even though the baby is still a few weeks away I'm already getting (unsolicited) advice from people telling me how I should do things. My MIL is trying to talk me out of co-sleeping and a friend has given me a book that claims newborns have sleeping problems and the only way for them to get over these problems is to let them cry it out until they fall asleep. I've avoided any confrontations so far by just smiling and walking away but I don't know that I'll always have that much patience.

Anyway, I just wanted to share and give you my support.
