With the baby industry, if you're looking for information and you don't have ability to trust your own instincts, it would be easy to be sucked into it. "Formula is best." "Use diaper rash creams." The incredibly long lists of the 'bare minimums' necessary to raise your child best. Even docs are in on it... You child needs this toy, or this piece of equipment to this medical test.
From video baby monitors, to a hand-held computer to help new moms remember which side they last nursed on and what them the last diaper change was.
