   Simple question for mother's with adult-aged children. Did they sleep on their backs or tummies as an infant?

     @LisbonMuse @susansiens @TheWitchBitch @LaylaAlexandrovna I tend to believe in the natural jostling theory, that co-sleeping was the rule of all natural newborns, mothers slept with their babies. It still is the rule in most Asian countries. And most Asians still do it when they come West.

     @LisbonMuse @susansiens @TheWitchBitch @LaylaAlexandrovna There are actually a legal cases where humans natural stupidity kicks in, and if you've had one infant die of SIDS, the probability that you'll have another is not independent, in fact, it's increased a lot. The police and prosecutors (and juries) are fed bad, bad statistics that end up convicting grieving parents. Yet, absolutely NOTHING is ever done, because the court system is so fucked up, no independent statistician can come in and a say STOP THESE LIES. The book I was reading about the cases was a decade old, then I noticed in my local news the EXACT same thing again.

     @polarisera @susansiens @TheWitchBitch @LaylaAlexandrovna You know, I was thinking of even reaching out to you about this to see if you knew anything or had opinions on why it would be pushed. To sell products? To not blame flat head on devices like swings? Not sure if you have any insight but I know you know a lot about covered-up medical history.

     @susansiens @LisbonMuse @TheWitchBitch @LaylaAlexandrovna There is no individual care, only magic indexes of insurance-coded probabilities.

     @LisbonMuse I didn't raise my son. "Raised" my younger sister but I don't remember how she slept. That was 62 yrs ago.

     @LaylaAlexandrovna Darn. Thank you though. I'm doing some research on something and am trying to see if something is a lie.

     @LisbonMuse @LaylaAlexandrovna are you talking about how they tell you now to not let your baby sleep on its stomach because it will die? Turns out it looks like that's not actually responsible for sudden infant death syndrome. A genetic component has been found recently but more research is needed. Apparently babies sleep best on their stomachs.
     
     I am not a mother, this is just what I've read.

     @TheWitchBitch @LaylaAlexandrovna Yes, thank you, I've heard that too!! That's definitely a big part of it. And what they keep repeating is that after the "back to sleep" movement became a thing, children took longer to hit milestones, thus creating tummy time! Except I'm wondering how often babies have slept on their stomachs? Because I read that in medieval times, babies slept on their backs swaddled up
     They sure didn't do tummy time. I know it used to be encouraged to place them on their stomachs...but what about before that?
     
     Because America has really strict milestone requirements. Like they need to be rolling by six months and if they're not you're not doing enough tummy time. But other countries will say that the milestone for six months is just rolling into their sides. Then I looked up and saw that placing babies on tummy time before they're ready is actually worse (I can link those if you're interested). Ahh I'm going on a big tangent I know. I'll write a whole post about it but my big question is why is tummy time so pushed when in the past babies slept on their backs and still developed fine? I want to find other country's milestones marker's and compare it to us. And the history of sleeping on back/tummy.

     @LisbonMuse @TheWitchBitch @LaylaAlexandrovna I would be wary of any "milestones" pushed by pediatricians and their minions. These are the people who vaccinate little babies whose systems are not prepared to handle detoxification. These are the people who think putting babies in plastic boxes in the hospital is legitimate. These are the people who think slicing off baby boys' foreskins is a good idea (and lucrative!). Our children in the U.S. are getting sicker and sicker, and all children have their own individual "milestones." Many very intelligent people didn't even start talking until quite late.

     @LaylaAlexandrovna I think you have do, do you remember how they slept before maybe age of one? Or even before half a year old?
