My latest guest on @maiden_podcast is @HeatherEHeying. We mostly spoke about babies! On the modern guidance on breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and sleep training, and the tensions between a science-led approach and parental intuition. youtube.com/watch?v=1-lJfY…
In the extended version @HeatherEHeying and I also spoke about the use of infanticide in human history, why Western women are more prone to postpartum depression, and why we need more sex specific research and guidance on health issues, particularly diet. louiseperry.co.uk/p/how-to-raise…

@Louise_m_perry @SarahTheHaider @maiden_podcast @HeatherEHeying Cosleeping is funny. I instinctively did it and felt kind of rebellious, but came to find out that almost everyone I know (well enough that they’d be honest with me) also did it. It’s the thing that many (most?) moms do & don’t want to be lectured about.
