I'm intrigued really.
We often get 'advice' from people, especially our own parents/grandparents, in relation to bringing up our children.
For example, the most recent thing from my father, is that I'll have to 'wean the baby off that soon' in relation to the baby (6 weeks) wanting to be constantly held and be in the sling. I also have a 22 month old so it mostly works for us all (although in fairness I would like to be able to put her down occasionally!)
I know for a FACT there is no way my parents did or would've carried me round constantly, so how did they do it?!
This is also in relation to things like getting us to sleep through the night etc.
The advice is given out as though it was so easy/obvious... So how did they do it?!
I'd be very interested to hear from those of my parent's generation (late 50s early 60s) as to how children were raised.

So, how did our parents do it then?!
