I wish that when they included this line:
"Modern Mayan mothers, for example, expressed shock when they heard that in the US, babies were put to sleep in a separate room."
That they followed it up with why Mayan mothers prefer to sleep with the baby. Is it just a default cultural expectation or do they have their own reason for it?
- mlboss 4y agoAs mentioned multiple times in the article. Most of the world co-sleeps with their kids. Sleep training is only a norm in US and some other western countries.
- The_Colonel 4y agoTBH it seems kind of shocking to European me as well. Not sleeping in the same bed I understand for sure, but putting the baby in a separate room seems ... unnecessarily cruel?
