No. Evidence and research regarding childcare is absolutely better than what parents "naturally know", and when there is clear and compelling evidence it should be taught. Furthermore the idea that we should shy away from the word 'taught' itself is nonsense. Consider the modern guidance that newborns should sleep on their back. Prior to the 90s people were told newborns should sleep on their stomach. When this guidance was reversed it resulted in a 50% reduction in SIDS[1]. As in other areas, science is a trustworthy and reliable means of improving our knowledge about parenting, and parents should approach their duty with humility to learn not over-confidence in their "instincts".
