There is the little matter of tens of thousands of years of human evolution where illiterate parents wrote down none of that and were providing to many more babies than just the one. This is extra ironic because there was no point being made besides "you’ve obviously not been the primary caretaker of an infant recently".

Do you have children?

If not, you have no idea what it’s like. If so, can you accept that you had a different experience than another parent??

We’re all different, our little people are different and parenting is lonely. Instead of jumping in with our hot takes on what will work best for another person’s child, why can’t we just say:

“That’s cool. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of…”

We’re not talking about object oriented design patterns, there’s no need to be pedantic and nobody wins if one person is right. This is parenting.

There were also thousands of years when parents judged other parents for "that's not how I did it and you turned out just fine!". Thanks gramps :).

If my late mother had been around for this, she would have thought I was nuts for going to so much trouble to breastfeed, and let me know on a regular basis :)

I treasure the detailed baby book she kept about me, though. My nerdy app data is helping me backfill one for my own son, who may or may not be interested in it once he has a kid.

There were also tens of thousands of years where you got TB and died aged 26, but I'll still take modern medicine when offered.

A fun fact is that most of the increase in life expectancy has come via a reduction in infant and child mortality
