How come everyone’s an expert according to their writings on social media?

Over the last years the media landscape has changed, and whilst internet is a blessing that helps us tremendously, we haven’t really gotten much time to learn, adapt and understand what that means for our interaction with information presented on said internet. Internet and maybe particularly social media has opened up a fantastic channel for…Fortsätt läsa How come everyone’s an expert according to their writings on social media?

Endorsement and sponsorship in research – is all considered the same in the babywearing community?

Dwelling a bit on the science side, again… 😊 It costs money to conduct research and it also takes time (which tends to be = money). The researchers need funds during the study (for living expenses) and sometimes the study itself might need funds (for computer programs, access to databases, external help and support in…Fortsätt läsa Endorsement and sponsorship in research – is all considered the same in the babywearing community?

Anisfeld, Casper, Nozyce & Cunningham, 1990. “Does Infant Carrying Promote Attachment? An Experimental Study of the Effects of Increased Physical Contact on the Development of Attachment”.

On to our third research study on carrying/babywearing. This is also one of a few who are done quite specifically on carrying babies in “soft baby carriers” and would therefor be easy to transfer over on babywearing. It is quite commonly referred to in the babywearing world as scientific evidence for “babywearing helps to build…Fortsätt läsa Anisfeld, Casper, Nozyce & Cunningham, 1990. “Does Infant Carrying Promote Attachment?

Hunziker & Barr, 1986. ”Increased carrying reduces infant crying: a randomized controlled trial”.

(English? Bottom of post! <3) SWE: En studie som rätt flitigt hänvisas till inom babywearingkretsar är Hunziker & Barrs studie ”Increased carrying reduces infant crying: a randomized controlled trial” från 1986 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3517799) där det ofta pekas på att de visat att ”barn som bärs gråter mindre”. Studien i korthet går ut på att man delade…Fortsätt läsa Hunziker & Barr, 1986. ”Increased carrying reduces infant crying: a randomized controlled trial”.
