Firstly, when I say 'rescue' I mean it tongue in cheek as he is not in any danger at all 
Do you find it hard to watch other children parent their child in a way you either wouldn't do yourself or cannot understand?
A friend of mine recently had a baby and I first went to visit when he was about a week old. She fed him then put him on one of those play mats on the opposite side of the room and left him there whilst coming back to chat to me. He was really restless, fractious, waving his arms and legs around etc. I made a comment about him being active and she told me that being on the floor is the best place for them....needless to say I went and picked him up after a few minutes, after having asked if I could have a cuddle and he settled straight away.
I then visited a week later and she started telling me about his 'routine' which involves him not being allowed to be fed until after his morning bath and until they have sorted out their other son who is 6. She told me she doesn't want the baby of getting in the habit of thinking he can have food as soon as he wakes up....I wanted to scream, "He's 2 weeks old for God's Sake!"
And now I learn he has been moved into his own room and he is only just over 6 weeks of age.
AIBU to feel a bit 
I know parents can bring up their children however they like but he is still such a little baby. I'd want him near me all the time....
