Bright Sparks: I didn't mean to attack you...I certainly don't think that you are being disrepectful toward the parents and I am sorry if that was how it sounded. If they asked you for advice, then you did the right thing by giving it and hopefully it helped them. I think I just get tired of a certain tone that I see here on the forum (not pointing to you directly at all) whereby everyone seems to know what is best. I guess my point was that "normal" is quite relative and varies from culture to culture and from family to family and also changed through time. Doctor's used to advocate bottles only and now they advocate breatfeeding..etc etc. While I do agree that if something is affecting the child negatively, then we can offer some support, I think it is the extreme "this is they way to raise a child" tone that I was reacting to (again not you specifically, but somethign I see from many on here). I guess I was just trying to offer another perspective on things...but in no way meant to attack you for giving advice!
