We sure have come a long way since the 1950s and some things really have changed a lot.
Home life, for example, has gone through a true revolution since then — and so has parenting, it seems.
A page from an old 1950s parenting book has gone viral on Facebook because of the unusual routine it suggests for babies.
For a four-hourly fed baby, the book suggests you wake the baby at 6am for a feed and a change then leave them in the cot to sleep again until 9am.
There's a "hold out" suggestion after every feed which social media users believe refers to the habit of holding the babies over the toilet, a process known these days as elimination communication.
