Got to see my baby granddaughter.  She is a cutie (aren't all babies for the most part?)  I'm not really the overly obsessed maternal type.  In fact I like them when they are older and you can teach them things but I held her and rocked her.

Chef did launch into some "when the ferals were babies" stories but kept it brief. He did, however, try to "correct" my rocking technique!

I was rocking her side to side sitting in a regular chair and he tried to "correct" me saying I should rock her back and forth--which I did when I tried out the rocking chair I found on craigslist, and repainted it white to match the nursery with new grey cushions.   Did I mention Chef is ADHD and constantly rocking when he is sitting in his rocker recliner?

DIL stepped in and said "I don't think there's a right or wrong way to rock a baby."

PRICELESS!

She did say they were getting conflicting advice on feeding schedules as she is nursing the baby and some pretty strange advice from "lactation specialists."  I told her do what you think the baby and you feel comfortable with.   If she wants to sleep longer without feeding (she's a vigorous feeder) then let her and don't wake her up at night for an extra feeding.  If she needs burping because vigorous feeders tend to swallow air, then by all mean burp her.  etc etc.
