Can you elaborate a bit, what are the biggest differences?
- xdrosenheim 4y agoMy neighbor, not sure where exactly they were from, but they were from the east, had a newborn some months ago. They had a full week of partying, family and friends visiting. They made as much noise as possible, day and night, literally banging pans and pots. All of this was to get the child comfortable with noise. Even leaving the child to cry so it would get used to being alone sometimes. I have never seen such with a "western" family.
- tester89 4y agoThis doesn’t seem like a bad idea, although I would probably consult a developmental expert about the abandonment, but the noise should be fine.
- itsmemattchung 4y agoOne example of co-sleeping. Discouraged in the west by the American Pediatric Association, but very much the norm in the east. [1] https://www.aap.org/en/patient-care/safe-sleep/ https://www.aap.org/en/patient-care/safe-sleep/
- kbelder 4y agoCan't encourage co-sleeping enough. Avoiding it is one of those official recommendations that I think does more harm than good.
