The two camps of parenting advice

Baby Trainers urge parents to get their newborn on to a strict schedule to integrate him into the rhythms of the household.
Natural Parents emulate the earthy practices of indigenous tribes in the developing world.

Although these two camps are hostile toward each other, we should realize that baby advice is not mainly about raising children. Instead, it is a vehicle to suggest that it might be possible to bring the terrifying unpredictability of the world under control. A brand new baby makes it possible to believe in that fantasy.
