    Mine would be called "Caring for Your Baby Your Way" and then all the pages would be blank. I think people put too much stock in books and 'experts' to tell them what to do, when they should just listen to themselves.
    I think my book would be similar. One of my chapters would be titled, 'well, what does your instinct tell you?'. I seem to be forever asking people this, I think a lot of heart ache could be avoided if we valued our own instincts and intuitions as parents more and placed less value of what other people who have never met the child think.
    And another chapter would be 'there is no always' because no matter what people say, their child did not always sleep through/eat well/self settle/etc etc etc. They may have done it most of the time, but then there was the time they were sick/teething/missing mummy or daddy/just having a bad day/overtired/etc etc etc. so there is nothing wrong if your child is having one of those days or weeks.
