Tldr research shows it isn’t but some people don’t like it and misuse / misquote studies that dealt with constant neglect / stress and apply them to an hour before the kid falls asleep and is crying.
When my partner and I started discussing sleep training, we were wondering whether it was a neutral choice for our son (like using formula or a pacifier)
What a strange thing to say. Both have been shown to have a number of disadvantages.
The fact that there’s not a lot of data supporting the notion of sleep training being harmful is interesting, but still: What a way to start an article about scientific thinking.
This might be my favorite post in this community to date.
Great info. Awful website design. Thanks for sharing this.
Edit: My usability complaint is fixed!
I’m reading on a phone and I really thought the article style was cool. Maybe it was novelty but I liked that I could scroll quickly through it, or I could click on each data point.
I also think it’s cool, but it traded away the basic usability of knowing if swipe down is doing anything or not.
A simple page progress indicator along the side would restore that, and plant this firmly in cool.
(And it did!)
