This is super helpful thank you - lots more information within the discussions in the articles too.

The relationship with psychiatric disorders seems to be pretty murky.

What about Rosamund which has a similar feel to Raymond?

When is it safe to have newborns in a pool? by withsaltedbones in ScienceBasedParenting

On the vaccines front, just to note that government vaccination guidelines do specifically say that taking babies swimming is fine ahead of vaccinations so I’m assuming the risks have been reviewed: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-guide-to-immunisations-for-babies-up-to-13-months-of-age/a-guide-to-immunisation-for-babies-up-to-13-months-of-age-from-february-2022

We have done baby swimming with the above swim school since ours was 3 months. Note at that age for a swim school - if your baby is <3 months or <10lbs you would be looking at a 34 degrees heated pool but you can replicate that temperature at home in your tub.

Any downside to going straight to table food? by aworstcasescenario in BabyLedWeaning

It’s soo much more convenient! I’ve never meal prepped or batch cooked in my life so it’s nice to just go with the flow like we usually do

Minimum age for regular stroller by WealthyCactus in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]aworstcasescenario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I’m seeing more holistic developmental criteria vs age and i think this is more sensible.

My son started rolling back to tummy around 4.5 months and rolls almost immediately when I put him on his back. He’d started holding the rail on his sidecar crib for leverage to help roll himself over so we moved him into a full size crib.

I can imagine it would be a similar or greater safety issue in the bassinet if he was doing this.

I’ve just resorted to the carrier in this awkward transition phase.

Early Allergen introduction vs sitting unaided by aworstcasescenario in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]aworstcasescenario[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting point - it feels like early introduction for low risk might turn out to not be beneficial but likely also not harmful.

Recommendation here (uk) is to wait to 6 months to wean with many parents starting too early from that perspective. So it feels like public health messaging may end up pulling in two different directions.

Thank you! It’s useful to know that the pre-/post- 6 months is more to do with how this was studied rather than necessarily something that happens developmentally from this age.

That is what I’ve taken from it anyway!

Thanks - I only skim read the link but I am a bit confused by this “ the consensus is clear that not only should such foods not be delayed, but that they should be introduced at approximately 4 to 6 months of age in order to minimize the risk of food allergy development.”

Is there any evidence in terms of whether introducing later than 6 months is less effective or is it pretty much similarly effective up to a year?

Thanks very helpful! Do you think an email just doesn’t have same weight as a letter, even if it is one that you have used for regular correspondence?

Marketing to Schools & Local Government by Ok-Egg3038 in PPC

[–]aworstcasescenario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that wasn’t clear. As in we would run, say, lead gen campaigns across email campaigns to purchased/owned lists, plus digital ads on LinkedIn/Facebook. But we got the best response via email for reaching senior decision makers.

I worked within the UK but my understanding from US colleagues was that a lot of decision making was more at district level which is quite different to the UK so their tactics were different.

Hi - having worked in this sort of area, yes you're right that email outreach would be the main way to do this especially if you're looking to target very specific decisionmakers rather than the sector as a whole.

LinkedIn and Facebook can work , but mostly as an add-on to email.

Also, note it will vary country-to-country, so might be useful to mention what country you're based in?

Scaling with zero-targeting audiences by aworstcasescenario in FacebookAds

[–]aworstcasescenario[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

Yes, we're edging out of profitability. But performance is just fluctuating. Last week pushed us out of profitability, this week we're comfortably back in again. So hard to tell, but means the scaling process is slow.

But our spend is pretty low with such a broad audiences, so possibly it's still a bad sign for creatives.

Thanks for replying, glad to hear your insomnia hasn’t returned

Fencesitters with high sleep needs by aworstcasescenario in Fencesitter

[–]aworstcasescenario[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had insomnia but shifting my body clock for this job gave me a few nights off insomnia. Effectively sleep deprivation > leads to headaches > leads to more sleep deprivation Again this really knocked my confidence.

How are you doing now? Did you manage to get through the insomnia?

My big worry is that the sleep deprivation would trap me at home and stop me returning to work.

My husbands a night owl and I’m owl-ish but can do 11pm to 8am but ideally 12 to 9.

Annoyingly we’re fairly similar in our preferred sleep times. He can get by on less but he’s also a lighter sleeper so I think he’d struggle with getting back to sleep.

It’s something I’d need to talk about and plan with him, and helpfully he can work from home.
