Parenting "advice" is one of those genres of bullshit that's self-perpetuating because it's the kind of thing most people have to do but is in practice extremely difficult to study scientifically. Typically, you just run a shitload of tests on a shitload of data until you get a spurious correlation, which you are guaranteed to get doing this sort of thing, then you've got your p<0.05 and you're ready to publish!
