Figure your plan out.
Infant Esoterica:
CONSENSUAL BIRTH PLAN: We did homebirths for both. No meds, no interventions. They went great, wouldn't have changed a thing. Hospital ten minutes away in case we needed it. The important factor is that we CHOSE how we'd give birth. It was fully consensual.
Figure your plan out.
Skin-skin contact with both parents is essential. Chest to chest. Doing as as early and often as you can --> lasting connections. https://t.co/1NRK6Z2qAo
Lay them on their back on bed or soft surface, get them to grab your thumbs and start lifting up. They'll come off the ground and relinquish grip when tired. Repeat.
If you do this from day 1 and never stop, you build powerful grip strength. ie normal grip strength, the grip they're meant to have.
Stroller good to have but not exclusively.
They're adrift in a psychedelic sea of sensory data. You are the anchor as they make sense of it.
Carrying kids lowers their cortisol, increases mutual oxytocin release.
AM sunlight provides infrared light which improves skin UV resilience, helps set circadian rhythm so they sleep better at night.
Midday sunlight provides UVB for vitamin D production.
Suitable dosing depends on ethnicity, skin color, etc.
Trees and plants emit volatile organic compounds to communicate with each other, and we humans can pick up on them (the smells we smell in the forest) and obtain physiological benefits—lower stress, improved immunity. Small humans benefit too.
Secret to most of this stuff is it's all good for you, too.
Also, dogs make kids happy.
Switch house bulbs to warm Edison lights.

You gotta think about this one carefully!
Imagine you go to the doctor and get tested for a rare disease (only 1 in 10,000 people get it.)
The test is 99% effective in detecting both sick and healthy people.
Your test comes back positive.
Are you really sick? Explain below 👇
The most complete answer from every reply so far is from Dr. Lena. Thanks for taking the time and going through
You can get the answer using Bayes' theorem, but let's try to come up with it in a different —maybe more intuitive— way.
👇
Here is what we know:
- Out of 10,000 people, 1 is sick
- Out of 100 sick people, 99 test positive
- Out of 100 healthy people, 99 test negative
Assuming 1 million people take the test (including you):
- 100 of them are sick
- 999,900 of them are healthy
👇
Let's now test both groups, starting with the 100 people sick:
▫️ 99 of them will be diagnosed (correctly) as sick (99%)
▫️ 1 of them is going to be diagnosed (incorrectly) as healthy (1%)
