> All it does is fuck with your head, so just take a cue from other parents around you.

A parent you make insecure by gaslamping the hell out of them, suggesting there's something wrong with their child if it doesn't conform to xyz is going to spend a lot of money on solutions to problems that don't exist.

We made tons of these mistakes the first time around. For the rest, we just bought diapers, formula and toys and let nature take its course. They turned out fine.

Baby books are the Fox News of childrearing-- lots of bold opinions and advice, most of it dubious/inapplicable.
