Great info. ~~Awful website design.~~ Thanks for sharing this.

Edit: My usability complaint is fixed!
- I'm reading on a phone and I really thought the article style was cool. Maybe it was novelty but I liked that I could scroll quickly through it, or I could click on each data point.
  
  I also think it's cool, but it traded away the basic usability of knowing if swipe down is doing anything or not.
  
  A simple page progress indicator along the side would restore that, and plant this firmly in cool.
  
  (And it did!)
When my partner and I started discussing sleep training, we were wondering whether it was a neutral choice for our son (like using formula or a pacifier)

What a strange thing to say. Both have been shown to have a number of disadvantages.

The fact that there's not a lot of data supporting the notion of sleep training being harmful is interesting, but still: What a way to start an article about scientific thinking.
This might be my favorite post in this community to date.
