This is so good, Emily! And it persists thru parenting. I just wrote a post in my FB group this wk about how we parents tend to buy into the idea that, if only we so everything right, everything will go right - our kids won't get into trouble, won't make "bad" choices, wont use substances, etc., and that's simply not true. Your post is a great look at how early that starts and how some ppl and companies use parents' fear and desperation to make a profit.
Ugh, yes! Especially because pitching it as a solution to PPD is straight-up dangerous. The solution to PPD isn't sleep training, it's getting some freaking help.

Ads like that definitely contribute to PPD.
