A side-effect of capitalism is the destruction of community. Back in the day when nuclear families weren't the only kind of family possible, first-time parents leart all of this from their in-laws. But now they need to take parenting classes.
I'm from semi-rural India, and it worked that way when I was a kid, but things are starting to change there as well.

And so much of that was dangerous bullshit, it's unbelievable. So many children died because of that.
That's due to the lack of medical knowledge. Even doctors used to recommend dangerous shit back in the day. (Heck, they used to think that babies don't feel much pain as recently as the 1980s.

Everyone should always seek medical help when having kids, but the communal knowledge is necessary as well.
