Confusion!

I am a perfectionist. I can't help it. I've always been like this and it's usually worked out okay for me. I jumped right in to motherhood just like I do most things..."fully prepared". I read all the books I could find on pregnancy: What to Expect, Your Pregnancy Week by Week, Belly Laughs, The Girlfriend's Guide, etc. All of which I found quite helpful and somewhat consistent.

Shortly before Landon was born, I began reading and rereading more books on parenting: Babywise, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, Your Baby's First Year, New Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding, Happiest Baby on the Block, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child...to name a few. But, whoa. I have never been so confused in all my life. How can there be so many different, "perfect solutions" to one problem? My conclusion? Either I'm stupid and can't figure out any of them, OR, my baby just doesn't fit the mold. I think I need to just pray this whole mothering thing out...but if anyone has advice on naptime...just leave it for me in a comment! Maybe I'll write a book one day compiled of all the real life advice I get instead of all the books that claim to know it all!
