Working Title: Non Baby Woman: From YKTTW
Humans aren't unique in not knowing instinctively how to care for babies. Lots of other mammals, if their own care was disrupted in some way, can't look after babies. Harlow's studies into attachment resulted in some unattached mother monkeys eating their babies. In addition, a lot of baby care is actually instinctive for most humans, too. The stuff most people have trouble with when caring for a new baby is often unnatural things like diaper-changing. (Although some women have trouble figuring out how to breastfeed, despite this being pretty instinctive for both mother and baby.)
