I know the kind of people you are talking about. I have a very "by the book" friend. Almost every time I see her she tells me how bad co-sleeping is. She tells me "we let our daughter cry it out in her crib, it's hard to listen to, but it's what you're suppose to do". (Her daughter cried herself to sleep until she was 3, that's not what I want for my child.) I wouldn't be opposed to letting Nathan put himself to sleep in his crib if he went to sleep as nicely as Hannah does, I'm just not a fan of the cry it out method. In fact Nathan has a little "bed" in the living room he and he'll sometimes put him self down for a nap.

That's one reason we love our pediatrician, he will not give out personal opinions, he's very good about only giving medical advise. He got called out of the office one time right before our appointment, we were asked if we wanted to see one of their other pediatricians or reschedule, we decided to see the other doctor. That was a mistake and we totally hated her! She was adamant that we have Nathan on 3 full solid meals a day, before he was 6 months old! Justin and I then made it clear that we would not see that doctor again as we did not agree with her ways at all.
