      Did you read the article or just kneejerk at the title? Sleeping in separate beds increases the risks of SIDs, for example. It is weird that western parents continue doing this to ‘instill individualism’ when it literally kills our children and slows down parent/child bonding in primates. Shit, we still circumcise most male babies because the Korn Flakes guy thought it was dirty for boys to touch themselves. We are weird!

      If you prefer to feel ashamed rather than learning something when you encounter new information because of a clickbait article title, well, I can’t stop you. Or even blame you.

      But the shameful part isn’t doing something weird out of ignorance, but continuing once we have better information. Putting our pride ahead of our children. That would be a shame.
