Keep in mind that you have the new mother instincts here, your stepmother does not. Also she is from a totally different parenting generation. Things were A LOT different back when we were babies. My mother was kind of the same way. She never nursed and she let us cry it out at a very young age. She gave us cereal at 1 month and always put us to sleep on our bellies. I took her advice on somethings, but on others I didn't because it didn't seem to feel right. You do what YOU feel is right.
