[quote=Anonymous]Eh. I think a lot of this has to do with the "independence" mantra of western child-rearing. Mammals co-sleep, cuddle, wear, etc their babies constantly. THAT is the motherly instinct and every parent is told the following: "Youll spoil him/her if you hold him/her all the time" "Youve got to let him/her self-soothe" "Let them figure it out themselves" "Dont make a rod for your own back" So when social and cultural "norms" clash with what is biologically normal, moms cant listen to their instincts because they are told they are wrong.
