hey hold on a sec

I just realized both op and the commenter are insane trad christains so im deleting my reblog (because im not platforming their shit -- this is ALSO why im censoring their URLs I’m not going to give them traffic) and instead reposing it with the following links/information:

1) The WHO still actively hosts a guide on how to create safe milk substitutes when access to breastmilk/milk substitutes are unavailable on the Institutional Repository for Information Sharing (iris). The guide is called “Infant Feeding in Emergencies: A Guide for Mothers”. Relevant information starts on page 38.

2) Here is a link to the archived guide WITH THE CAUTION that I was not able to find out why its no longer provided by the WHO or iris. It could be that the information is out of date. I am only sharing it because I think the visuals may be helpful for people who have trouble reading written directions. Consult the above link first, then refer to this guide only if you need clarification on how to perform certain actions. Link to archive.

3) The language in that second comment throws up so may red flags. I cropped it to only the information needed to understand the context of this post because I find it immensely suspect. The repeated allusions to 2020 for no apparent reason (but I can guess why, as an infection disease scientist) come across as loaded or dog-whistely. I would advise against sharing the OP for that reason. But because the information being provided is important and not well known, I’m making this alternative post for people to reblog.

4) The implication that the WHO is censoring information based on a 404 page is a really flimsy and extreme conclusion to jump to. The “Infant Feeding in Emergencies” guide I linked above also goes to a 404 page on the WHO’s main website - but again, can be accessed through iris instead. So no, the information on how to feed infants in a food crisis is not being censored by the WHO.

5) A more likely cause for the guide disappearing is that the link broke and they didn’t fix it. If you look at the original URL it indicates the guide was posted in a subcategory on the WHO’s website about International Crises, specifically in the Middle East. If you try to type in a shortened versions of that URL (specifically https://www.who.int/hac/crises/ or the slightly modified http://www.who.int/hac/crises/en/) you’ll see that the subdomain that was present with relevant info breaks around 2020. In fact, while testing this hypothesis, I came across this information page in a November 2021 version of the URL https://www.who.int/home/cms-decommissioning (which I was redirected to automatically from http://www.who.int/hac/crises/en/):

There is no nefarious conspiracy theory. The link simply broke - as many many many many links do on the internet. The second commenters reply is proven bunk by a little bit of fact checking.

sorry for the long post, but I think the information on infant nutrition substitutes is genuinely useful, lifesaving info -- but i’m not going to give more people with dangerous ideological views spouting nonsense a platform.

update (5/20/22):

I had hope this was a given, but I want to be explicitly clear.

Using an at-home formula substitute should be a last resort. Contact your infant’s physician or a pediatrician before attempting to make your own milk substitute.

I am also going to leave a link to the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine’s statement on breast milk substitute shortages.

Do not blindly follow internet posts in regards to the health of yourself or your children. I wanted to share this post simply because I, myself, did not even know it was possible to make milk substitutes and thought it was useful to be aware of in an time when access to substitutes is unprecedentedly difficult.

#breast milk #mothers #mom #infant care #baby #formula #<-- sorry for the weird tags but i want to make sure this is accessible to ppl who would benefit most #pls share this instead of the other post btw #if you want the URLs i censored to block them just shoot me an ask

How Families Slept

You know what? Just when I wrote about the medieval living situations I remembered one comment I got on a fanfic a while ago. It was one of my Castlevania and it featured the golden trio having their infant daughter sleep with them in the same bed, when the child was not able to sleep in her crib.

The comment person got really angry about that. How do I dare writing about parents co-sleeping with their infant? Have I never heard about sudden infant death syndrome?

To which I say: "... You are aware that we have evolved to co-sleep with out infants, right?"

You guys know the saying: "Sleeping like a baby?" Have you guys ever wondered what was up with that, given that babies' are well known for... not sleeping very peaceful and keeping their parents awake?

Yeah, the saying originally went: "Sleeping like a baby at mother's bossom." Because it turns out... babies can sleep very peacefully, if they are sleeping in the arms of their parents. Not always. And toothing will most certainly still rob the parents' sleep.

This is the reason why to this day most infants around the world still sleep in the same bed as their parents. Most infants historically slept in the same bed as their parents, given that cribs were expensive - and that nobody had additional rooms for kids to sleep in either. So, yeah, they just slept in the same bed as the parents.

Does co-sleeping heighten the risk of SIDS? Yeah. But only very, very slightly. Meanwhile co-sleeping has also a lot of positive effects on the health of the infant.

To be honest, that comment got me really annoyed, because it just shows just US-centrism. Because while yeah, nurseries are common enough in Western Europe, too, this obsession with keeping the kids out of their parent's bed and forbidding (and shaming people for) co-sleeping is very much an US thing.

As I said: Yes, it co-sleeping slightly increases the chance of sudden infant death. But... It is still about as likely as getting hit by lightning. At least with an otherwise healthy child.

We are still animals. As such we have not evolved to have kids in a whole ass seperate room from the parents.

Not so fun fact, though: The origin of cribs is, basically, that during medieval times often enough during famines parents would smolder their infants to death and then say: "Oh, it was an accident." Which is why the church passed a decree that kids should sleep in a crib. So that parents could no longer claim "an accident".

Keeping Little Ones Comfortable Navigating the Baby Diaper Market

Baby diapers are securely utilized on a daily basis by parents throughout the globe. Since their invention in 1932, they have continuously enhanced. Long gone are the days of plastic external pants, uncomfortable-fitting terry inners, and regularly wet skin for babies and new-borns. Nowadays throwaway diapers are compact, light, leak-proof, and easy to use.

This Means Babies:

Are happy to wear because of the lightness, ‘breathability’, and softness of the materials used.

Keep the skin dry and, thus, healthy. These advantages have been confirmed by medical specialists, such as paediatrics and dermatologists.

Are better at decreasing the transmission of communicable diseases as fecal containment is decreased so that there is a low risk of the spread of microorganisms.

Owing to all these advantages, baby diapers market is experiencing growth and is projected to reach USD 97.7 billion by 2030.

Are Cloth Diapers Safe?

They're healthier for the children's skin — but only if changed from time to time. Cloth diapers are commonly admired for being favorable for the environment and good for the baby's skin. But they tend to be low absorbent than regular ones, so they are required to be changed more often.

Disposable Diaper

One-use diapers are made of absorbent materials and are thrown away after one use. A disposable diaper is more convenient and hygienic than cloth diapers. It’s no top secret that changing diapers isn’t fun. It’s stinky and at times messy. Disposable diapers aid parents by minimizing the struggles and stress of changing their baby’s diaper by keeping the process fast.

Potentially More Hygienic: When your baby wears a reusable diaper, you have to wash that waste. Urine can be splashed out in the washing machine, but poop requires to be flushed down the drain. Getting a dirty diaper to the toilet increases the chances of a big mess, and keeping your own hands clean can be a big issue but withdisposable diapers can just throw it away.

More Convenient: The fact that you can just throw the diapers in the garbage also makes them great if you’re busy. The laundry process takes time, and packing reusable diapers when you’re running errands is complex and messy. Disposable diapers can be thrown away and you continue with your work.

Less annoying: The resources which are put to use in disposable diapers do a great job of removing wetness around baby’s skin. Diaper rash occurs if baby’s skin stays wet for a long period of time. In general, disposable diapers help in keeping your baby dry better than reusable diapers and decrease the chances of skin rashes.

Baby Pacifier Market by Product Type (Multiple Piece Pacifier, Single Piece Pacifier), Size (Small, Large), Distribution Channel (Offline, Online) – Global Outlook & Forecast 2023-2031

According to the deep-dive market assessment study by Growth Plus Reports, the global baby pacifier market was valued at US$ 389.7 million in 2022 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 5.79% to reach US$ 646.7 million by 2031.

Baby Pacifier Market Fundamentals

A baby pacifier, also known as a dummy or soother, is a small device designed to soothe and calm infants. It is typically made of a nipple-shaped teat made from silicone, latex, or rubber, attached to a plastic or silicone shield that prevents the infant from swallowing or choking on the teat. Pacifiers are commonly used to help babies self-soothe and provide comfort. Many infants have an instinct to suck, and a pacifier can fulfill this need between feedings. Some of the reasons parents choose to use pacifiers include soothing a fussy baby, helping them fall asleep, and reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) during sleep.

Baby Pacifier Market Dynamics

The primary driver for the baby pacifier market is the need for parents to provide comfort and soothing to their infants. Pacifiers help satisfy a baby's instinct to suck and can provide a calming effect, especially during periods of fussiness or before sleep. With increased awareness about safety and hygiene, parents are looking for pacifiers that meet stringent safety standards. BPA-free materials, one-piece construction, and easy-to-clean designs are some features that parents prioritize. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards eco-friendly and sustainable baby products. This has led to an increased demand for pacifiers made from natural materials, such as organic cotton or biodegradable materials, as well as recyclable products with minimal environmental impact. Moreover, personalized pacifiers with the baby's name or unique designs have gained popularity. Parents often seek customizable options that reflect their child's individuality. Pacifiers with additional features such as built-in teethers, glow-in-the-dark handles, or temperature-sensitive indicators have gained traction. These features add value to the pacifier by addressing specific needs or concerns. Furthermore, concerns about dental development have prompted the development of orthodontic pacifiers. These pacifiers are designed to support healthy oral development and reduce the risk of dental issues, such as misalignment. The convenience of online shopping has influenced the baby pacifier market significantly. Many parents prefer to purchase pacifiers online, benefiting from a wide range of options, competitive pricing, and doorstep delivery.

While pacifiers are designed to be safe, there is always a risk of potential hazards if not used properly or if the pacifier is damaged. This can include choking hazards if the pacifier breaks or if small parts become detached. Safety regulations and standards help address these concerns, but ensuring proper usage and monitoring is essential. Pacifier use, particularly in breastfeeding infants, can potentially cause nipple confusion, where the baby has difficulty switching between breastfeeding and using a pacifier. This concern may lead some parents to avoid pacifiers altogether. Extended or improper pacifier use can lead to dental problems, such as teeth misalignment or malocclusion. Prolonged sucking on a pacifier can affect the growth and development of the baby's teeth and jaw. The baby pacifier market is highly competitive, with numerous brands and options available. This can lead to market saturation and price competition, making it challenging for new or smaller players to enter the market or for established brands to maintain market share. Pacifiers are subject to wear and tear, and they need to be replaced regularly to ensure safety and hygiene. This creates ongoing demand but also requires manufacturers to provide durable and long-lasting products that can withstand the demands of infant use. The baby pacifier market is subject to various regulations and safety standards, which vary across different regions and countries. Manufacturers need to comply with these regulations to ensure their products meet safety requirements, which can present testing, certification, and compliance challenges.

Baby Pacifier Market Ecosystem

The global baby pacifier market has been analyzed from the following perspectives: by product type, size, distribution channel, and region.

Baby Pacifier Market by Type

Based on the type, the global baby pacifier market is segmented into multiple piece pacifier and single piece pacifier.

Single-piece pacifiers dominate the global market with a prominent amount of revenue share. Single-piece pacifiers, also known as one-piece pacifiers, are pacifiers that are made from a single unit of silicone or rubber without any detachable parts. Single-piece pacifiers are easier to clean and maintain. Without any detachable parts, there are no crevices or areas where dirt or bacteria can accumulate. This makes them more hygienic and convenient for parents to keep clean. The absence of detachable parts makes single-piece pacifiers more durable. There is no risk of losing or misplacing parts; they are less prone to breakage or wear over time. This durability is appealing to parents who want pacifiers that can withstand regular use and cleaning. Single-piece pacifiers often have a seamless design that offers a smoother and more comfortable experience for babies. The absence of seams or joints reduces the chance of irritation or discomfort for the baby's delicate skin. Single-piece pacifiers are simple and straightforward to use. There are no additional parts to assemble or detach, making them convenient for parents and caregivers. Babies can easily latch onto the pacifier without any complicated adjustments.

Baby Pacifier Market by Size

Based on the size, the global baby pacifier market is segmented into large, small, and medium.

Small pacifiers are specifically designed for newborns and young infants. They are sized and shaped to fit comfortably in their small mouths. Since newborns and young infants make up a significant portion of the target market for baby pacifiers, the demand for small pacifiers is naturally higher. Newborns and young infants have a strong sucking reflex, and pacifiers provide them with comfort and soothing. The small pacifier size suits their needs and helps meet their instinct to suck for comfort, making them popular among parents. Small pacifiers have been widely available in the market for a long time and have established a strong presence and reputation. Many parents are familiar with small pacifiers and trust their effectiveness in soothing their babies. This preference and trust contribute to the dominance of the small pacifier segment. Furthermore, manufacturers' extensive branding, marketing, and product promotion efforts further drive the popularity and dominance of the small pacifier segment.

Baby Pacifier Market by End User

Based on the end user, the global baby pacifier market is segmented into offline and online.

The offline segment accounts for a significant amount of revenue share in the global market. Offline functionality in baby pacifiers could address concerns about data privacy and security. By operating offline, the pacifier can limit or eliminate the need for data transmission over the internet or cloud services. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data and provides a sense of privacy and security for parents. Offline functionality allows the baby pacifier to continue monitoring various parameters, such as temperature or sleep patterns, even in situations where an internet connection is unavailable. This ensures that parents can still receive real-time data and alerts without relying on an internet connection. Smart pacifiers with offline functionality can offer greater convenience and ease of use. Parents do not have to worry about setting up or maintaining an internet connection for the pacifier to function properly. They can use the pacifier anywhere, even in remote areas or during travel, without relying on internet connectivity. Offline functionality reduces the reliance on external devices, such as smartphones or tablets, for data access. Parents can directly receive alerts or monitor their baby's data through the baby pacifier itself, without the need for additional devices or connectivity. Operating offline can contribute to improved power efficiency in baby pacifiers. Without the need for constant internet connectivity or data transmission, the pacifier's battery life can be prolonged, reducing the frequency of recharging or battery replacement.

Baby Pacifier Market by Region

Based on the region, the global baby pacifier market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

North America is known for its innovation and technological advancements. The region has a robust ecosystem of technology companies, research institutions, and a startup culture that fosters innovation in various sectors. This technological prowess can contribute to developing and adopting baby pacifiers, potentially giving North America an advantage in the market. North America has a relatively high average disposable income compared to many other regions. This allows consumers in North America to have greater purchasing power and the ability to invest in innovative and higher-priced products such as baby pacifiers. The willingness and ability to spend on new and advanced baby care products can drive the growth and dominance of the market in the region. North America has advanced healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, clinics, and research facilities. This infrastructure fosters an environment for research, development, and adoption of innovative healthcare products, including baby pacifiers. Collaboration between healthcare professionals, technology developers, and manufacturers can accelerate the region's growth and adoption of baby pacifiers. North American consumers have a reputation for being early adopters of new technologies. They often embrace and incorporate innovative products into their daily lives. This inclination towards technology adoption can play a role in North America's rapid acceptance and market dominance of baby pacifiers. North American consumers, particularly parents and caregivers, are often well-informed and proactive regarding baby care products. A strong emphasis on child safety, health, and well-being can drive the demand for advanced baby care solutions such as baby pacifiers. The demand from informed and conscientious consumers can contribute to North America's dominance in the market.
