Agreed. One of the first things you learn as a parent is that all children are different and not all the advice that gets heaped on you will work. (Though the advice givers are usually certain that it will).
In fact, the constant advice and even "you're doing it wrong" comments are one of the more frustrating parts of being a parent. I was quite disturbed when my friends started having children and I found myself trying to give them advice -- I now force myself to just keep quiet most of the time.
