Because everything was fine in their day, they didn't know dangers, no babies ever died or got ill, and we are all just fussy.
Yet guidelines today are realistic and do decrease the risk of cot death. Don't get me wrong, I'm weaning my baby early because he's so hungry and ready for it, and sometimes I lie him on his side if he's very colicy. I am open to older people's opinions.
But I'm sick of being patronised and disregarded for doing things A) my way, or B) according to guidelines.
Oh and the worst is when you change to their way and they go 'well I didn't want to say anything before because you thought you knew best'.
Anyone else want to join my rant?
