I honestly can't believe it took this long. Clearly, I ought to give my MIL more credit, because this came from a good friend. I feel like telling him to shove it and that I'm not prepared to let my six week old CIO (I'm not sure I'm ever prepared for it, honestly), but I know he means well. Why does every parent think that what works for them is the only way to do things? Every baby and every family is different.
