[quote=spdrun]No, I mean it’s literally inhumane. Newborns come out programmed to want to be close to their parents.[/quote]

Again, spoken like someone who has no kids. One of ours would awaken at the slightest sound – we even figured out where the slightly squeaky subfloor was so we could avoid it. A cough or sneeze meant he was awake for a minimum of two hours. Have that happen to you night after night and you will change your tune. He slept in our room for a while but everyone slept better when he moved to the room next door.

New parents have enough to worry about without armchair quarterbacks like you and Brian pontificating.
