I think things have gone too far. While it is important to be informed, I think in some instances paople are over informed and get anxiety and depression and other problems like this from having too much information, being misinformed and not seeking professional advice.
What do you think people did before lotions and potions, monitors and breathing sensors? They slept with their bubs, breast fed them and used natural stuff on their rashes and things. Now research says thats the way to go....why did it change in the first place?!
There is so much hype surrounding pregnant women, children and babies and I think too many people fall for it. The easiest, cheapest and usually the best thing to do is what people did 200yrs ago! I'm not saying there isn't instances where modern technologies or medicines, etc...arent needed, but I do think there is definately too much these days.
