Comment on Death metal, religion and the socialization of emotion by dlende

Jack, just wanted to say that there is that type of music in Muslim countries. Check out the book Heavy Metal Islam:

Through interviews with musicians and fans, LeVine reveals young Muslims struggling to reconcile their religion with a passion for music and a desire for change. These are the risk-takers and revolutionaries, as much on the front lines of the culture war as the suicide bombers and Al-Qaeda martyrs. Heavy metal, punk, hip-hop, and reggae are each the music of protest, and in many cases considered immoral in the Muslim world.

Comment on Cosleeping and Biological Imperatives: Why Human Babies Do Not and Should Not Sleep Alone by Michelle

Jasmine, reread the article. I don’t think you were paying attention.This article does not “muddie” the facts, in fact it covers both sides quite well. It states that you have to look at all the factors. Not everyone can safely sleep with an infant. You need to reread this article. It does not “promote” bedsharing. Parents need to decide what is best and safe for them. You feel like this article makes you a “bad” parent for not bedsharing, then you must have guilt issues about your overall parenting. The whole crib “thing” to have your baby sleep in another room is not “natural”. Animals do not put their babies in a seperate rooms. But we do have people who are heavy sleepers and if you do not know this about yourself by the time you have a baby, that is pretty sad.
Also, when you are nursing, especially in the first few months, babies nurse constantly. I hear the statement alll the time that a mother “does not make enough milk for their baby because they always seem hungry. Signs that a baby is not actually getting enough would be not enough wet diapers, fussiness and not being able to sleep. You should be tested by a doctor to determine “if” you truly are not lactating enough. You also have to eat and drink enough to keep your milk flowing. I have a friend who starting fasting in the morning and her milk did dry up. You cannot diet or fast while nursing without causing a disruption.

[...] Cosleeping and Biological Imperatives: Why Human Babies Do Not and Should Not Sleep Alone “In Japan where co-sleeping and breastfeeding (in the absence of maternal smoking) is the cultural norm, rates of the sudden infant death syndrome are the lowest in the world. For breastfeeding mothers, bedsharing makes breastfeeding much easier to manage and practically doubles the amount of breastfeeding sessions while permitting both mothers and infants to spend more time asleep.” [...]
