Tishie, I know you are an awesome mom! I was responding to sunrise's father stating that being unaffectionate (is this a word?) was the norm when she was a baby. Our oldest didn't cry when he woke up when he was a baby, since he slept with me, I would wake up when he started wiggling around.
But you're right, different does not mean wrong. Our boys all slept with us from day one, but our second child did not like sleeping with us. She had jandice when she was born and had to be in the cube from the time she was three days old until she was 17 days old. We were unable to take her out to hold her, we could put our hands in through the holes to rub and stroke her. Or it could be she was so huge (10 lbs 2 oz) that she was just tired being crowded.
Parenting skills vary by person and by child I think. As long as you give them love and keep them healthy and happy there is no wrong way to do it.
