The same people who taught parents that pain-free medicated childbirth
should be the norm rather than the exception.  It's the me generation at
work - what's good for me, I'll do.  Babies sleeping through the night is
good for me, therefore I'll do whatever it takes - after all, they won't
remember it anyway :-(.   Childbirth with pain?  No way!  I'll have that
epidural as soon as I can get it.  If harm is done to the baby, it can be
fixed - doctors know how to do everything.

YUCK.

control babies? .html
