[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 734556, member: 1550"] I think this was always true. We just forget that people were always different people. My mother probably looked scared to death holding me. She did not like babies and told me she felt nothing when they put me in her arms for the first time and I believe it!! She never really liked kids. I doubt she held me with ease. I didn't notice how she held my siblings. Back to me as a young mom. In 1977, it was BIG TIME frowned upon to prop bottles in my world. BIG TIME. You were told that feeding time was love time and to cuddle your baby in your arms .Breastfeeding was common but I was on medication so I can I had to bottle feed. I never saw anyone prop a bottle. Not once. Nobody did it. Nobody. If a babysitter had dared prop a bottle with my babies, I would have been cross and never hired them again, but it never happened. I didn't use sitters :). The babies came with us or we stayed in. It's interesting to me to hear the differences in various parts of the world. And there are real differences. [/QUOTE]
