I consistently reach 100-120g protein per day. This is how I always ate. Some days I reach 150g. Is this excessive? I'm 136lbs and in second trimester

My understanding is that SIDS prevention is basically different ways to stop babies getting into a super super deep sleep that they don't wake up from for whatever (unknown) reason, or ways to stop them getting smothered.

Of all the things that increase the likelihood of super deep deep sleep (laying on belly or curled up, no pacifier, warmer temperature, sleeping on parent, swaddling etc), what increases deep sleep the least ie. Which rule break increases the risk of SIDS the least?

Sometimes baby just will not sleep in their safe space, so if co sleeping in the bed isn't an option with an exhausted parent, why is the sofa so bad?

If the parent is sat holding the baby with their arms propped up on cushions either side in a way that neither the baby (laying on their back) or the parents arms can't move when the parent is asleep/fully relaxed, what's the problem? No chance of baby getting wedged in pillows or being dropped on floor.

Note: I'm not including things that increase suffocation risk like heavy blankets, arms under blankets, smoking, bed sharing with pets/drunk parents, cot bumpers, teddies in crib etc

Edit: can to can't, typo

When I was a child my mother was against any toy that required batteries. Now that I have my own baby I realized I have not purchased any toys with batteries without thinking about it. Is there any research that backs the idea that wooden non electric toys are much better for development than anything with lights or movement/sound?

My understanding is the WHO is how children should grow and the CDC is how children are actually growing.

Is there more to it though? Which once should I use tho? I don’t obsess over my child’s % but I just think it’s a fun thing to know how he’s doing but on one scale he’s in the 80s and 90s and on the other he’s alll the way down in the 10s-20s 😭

His ped uses the WHO I believe which is the scale he’s small on.

hello, i am combo feeding with slightly less than 50% breast milk (through exclusive pumping)

i undedstand there is basically very little statistical significance in benefits of combo feeding over formula feeding for the baby (correct me if im wrong)

however i am wondering if i am getting any benefits as the mother, like the touted benefits of reduced breast cancer risks.

i plan to stop soon and would like to know if theres any research as length of time pumping, like 2 months as opposed to 6 months.

alternatively, are the benefits applicable if you continue for 6 months, regardless of output? like if i continue pumping once a day until 6 months, will that get me the benefits?
