Psyah Bhai, I respect you, I really do, and I had no issues at comprehending this study, nor your response to it. But the fact of the matter is, there is no way to conclusively say that ALL csection mothers are apathetic towards their baby’s cry response times vs mothers who delivered vaginally. That just doesn’t make any sense. Doesn’t this study say that 12 women were selected for the study…12?! 12!!! That’s a pretty ridiculously low number wouldn’t you say? Out the millions of women in this world, 12 are going to are going to decisively prove this point? Sorry, I’m not buying it.
And as far as the “man card” goes, unfortunately their is NO way any man can EVER comprehend the experience of childbirth (and the feelings, pains, emotions etc that entail)…that’s not be being facetious, that’s Allah ki khudrat. The comment wasn’t a stab at you personally. And yes, you did sound condescending, but rest assured, had it been any other male poster, my response, and I’m fairly certain, that of the others would have been he exact same.
Like SO2 pointed out, there are away too many other varying factors like pain meds, postpartum blues, hormonal fluctuation etc that are more realistic contributing factors, not solely csection vs vaginal deliveries.
