TIL that many popular parenting practices may be linked to reduced brain development in infants. Such practices include “the use of infant formula, the isolation of infants in their own rooms or the belief that responding too quickly to a fussing baby will ‘spoil’ it.”

wow……..crazy

haha isn’t it so great that we live in a modern world where silly old traditions are replaced

I never understood leaving the baby in a separate room from the parents. Like if the baby falls out of its crib, or cries, or whatever, the parents would NEVER KNOW unless a baby monitor was installed. And in situations like these time is of the essence so having a baby in a separate room would mean the parents have to WASTE TIME running to that room, so the baby is hurt for longer. 

The breast feeding thing however may be situational because in this day and age you need two incomes to support a child and not every woman can produce breast milk. However breast pumps exist so working mothers can keep their milk in the fridge and feed it from a bottle.
