Thing is, in my experience of reading mothers talking to each other in various fora, this kind of thing isn't ignorance, it's wilful ignorance. These people know History Says that lots of babies used to die but believe it's a lie. They blame women for any pregnancy or birth or breastfeeding complications which may arise and are certain that if they'd only knitted their own handcarved yoghurt from wholegrain soya chants it would all have been fine.

And then they have special-needs babies with obscure self-diagnosed intellectual conditions.
