> I’ve found, with baby parenting, there is an enormous amount of guesswork presented as fact, and this paper seems to push that. Case in point, Procedure for handling newborns at my hospital in Memphis TN has changed substantially with each of my kids over the course of 5 years. “Nurse: oh we don’t do that anymore, it’s not good for the baby”. Oh but it was fine for my first 2 kids?

That's not "guesswork pushed as fact", that's more information being discovered through research.

It's very hard to do research into this kind of stuff, and when you've done the research it's hard to take the stuff you've learnt across a population and apply it to individuals.

As a soon to be new parent, I've also found a tremendous anount of guess work presented as fact.

Research seems to be the area most susceptible to politics and willful misinformation. My wife and I just pick the safest perceived route, and only deviate from that when something seems like an unresearched old wives tail.

My child will sleep on his back, but I dont blame the OP for scratching his head and wondering what is worse?
