Expert Opinion: Malie Coyne
"I think people are very black and white. And very invested. I think that's a very human thing. When you're getting married, everybody is invested in telling you where to get your dress, how to do your hair. It's the same - people are judgmental about child-rearing. I found when I was in hospital after my first child, it seemed every nurse had a different take and a strong opinion on what I should do in terms of breastfeeding, sleep and so on. As a new parent, you're desperately looking for advice all around you, and you're vulnerable to that advice because you don't know what you're doing."
