Read MoreSo, we've been busy with mythbusting medical studies, haven't we? You've probably seen the news about another study linking cell phones and cancer. Well, this one has major issues that the press is also missing. Here is a great (somewhat long, but very well done) article really crunching the data and raising serious questions about the accuracy of the study. It's worth a read, but a few bullet points are:
This also was published in an online repository, meant for quicker release to other researchers, but that means it didn't go through the usual outside review process that medical journals put studies through. It also means the media is free to jump on it and make their own conclusions without actual scientific input. Food for thought....
Recently there have been some news articles regarding a study published in the journal Pediatrics about swaddling babies and the risk for SIDS. Unfortunately, many of them have been titled with sensational, simplified headlines declaring "Swaddling Causes SIDS!" Well, it's not that simple. There's a few things that make the study, and definitely the sensational conclusions in the press, not-so-airtight:
Most physicians will tell you after reading this study that the main take home point is not that swaddling is dangerous, but that a child shouldn't be swaddled at all past 2-3 months of age, when they are developing the strength to roll. And of course, that babies should always be placed on their backs to sleep.
For further reading, there is a great article at the Seattle Children's Hospital website that discusses the study and gives some solid guidelines on safe swaddling. Hope this helps dispel the hype!
As you can see from the picture, she got some love (and good-natured jokes, mock walker included) from the nurses!
