Why is the baby doing/not doing "x"?
The conventional baby book says "a"
The alternative baby book says "b"
The attachment parenting book says it's because we are/are not doing "c" too much/enough
The grandparent says "d"
The friend with kids says some permutation of "a" and "d"
My intuition says "q"
We decide to do "a" or "b" or "c" (or not do "c" anymore) or "d" or "a+d" or "q"
The baby is fine

Ha! Your perspective is amazing!
the parent with the kid says, do q
Amazing how often q ends up working, whether or not we start or end with q!
Just spoke with a friend about to be a new mom; we're both amazed how much obsessing the first baby gets and how little the subsequent babies get. We agreed it's biology at work and unavoidable!
