It’s still valuable to have an overview of techniques or things that have worked for others. It’s fine to adapt to your unique situation (you are absolutely right on that) - but starting from scratch doesn’t sound great. And nobody does - friends, relatives, doctors - all give advice thet might or might not apply. Books fall in the same category. Everybody advised us to let the baby “cry it out” to learn to fall asleep on his own. We never did because it didn’t feel right. And things did work out in the end :)
