I sometimes wonder if there's a connection between the things we do to infants and the state of society today ... How can it be right to isolate a tiny infant who is only trying to have its needs met in the only way in which it can communicate - by crying? If I were immobile and helpless and cried out for help - how would I feel if no one came? I guess I would fall asleep from the exhaustion of trying to get help, too. Just a thought about this method ....
How many of us as grown ups have "routines" that are set in stone and don't vary from day to day? I know I surely don't! Why do we think infants need that much routine? Why do we think WE need that much routine?
