Kathleen, so many topics regarding contemporary childrearing call to me like sirens! Tongue-tie, co-sleeping, wake windows, sleep schedules, sleep training, etc, etc. Not to mention extreme mom-influencer ideas presented on Instagram and TikTok as "scientific," like baby-led weaning, vestibular training for infants, water-survival lessons for infants. These last things make me want to write a series called, "The Internet is Raising Your Baby (Even If Your Baby Is Not on the Internet)."
Yes! And maybe breastfeeding too… I’ve seen one heterodox internet doctor say the benefits are overhyped, often based on low quality evidence. Those posts will bring out the zealots!
Thanks for publishing this. I’d love to see this author do a series on tongue ties in infants and the industry surrounding that.
