Dock a tot deluxe4/15/2023 ![]() ![]() I don’t want to see someone suffer a tragedy or near-tragedy and not even know that they were taking a risk. Unfortunately, there are moms who are in that small percentage that suffer terrible tragedies. Often, the risk, percentage-wise, is quite low and it’s up to each mom to decide what risks they are willing to take. Yet we often put our children to sleep in unsafe ways. Our parents rode in cars without car seats but most of us wouldn’t consider letting our own children ride in cars this way. There’s a term for it “survival bias”, which occurs when you ignore those that suffered because you personally, or a vast majority did not suffer from a certain behavior. This sort of anecdotal science is however NOT evidence that a product or practice is safe. I’m in a lot of mom groups online and I frequently see people say we did it and my child is fine, which they apparently think is evidence that a product, practice, etc. I’m no fan of mommy shaming but I am a fan of education and the phrase “know better, do better”.
