Patronising. And breeding ignorance.
Agree. I had no idea that FF increased the risk of SIDS so I totally agree. How can I make an informed decision based on wrong information? I can remember looking at the SIDS website when DS was born to make sure I was doing the right thing. Even though I did BF him, I'm annoyed that I might have made a different decision based on incomplete info.

My current favourite quote:
Most people would rather die than think: many do. Bertrand Russell
Love it I might have to steal that one

So I'm all for giving people all the information and letting them decide for themselves.
Agree. As per above.

The same goes for a lot of things baby related I find eg controlled crying - pretty sure cavewoman without a clock nor any pressure from social norms, who would have fed LOTS at night due to dangers during the day, wouldn't have practised sleep training. Therefore we need extensive, solid evidence this isn't going to cause longer term psychological damage.
I have never thought about raising babies in terms of how a cavewoman would have done it. That's strange since I often think about other aspects of life in this way especially in regards to diet, exercise & entertainment. I will be incorporating this into my thinking more often now.

Redrobinridinghood - I share your cynical view. Money makes everything different. The cavemen didn't have money.
