The federal govt launched the campaign as "Back to Sleep" in 1994 in partnership w/private orgs. Since then, it has helped save thousands of #babies from dying in their #sleep, says Dr. Rachel Moon, a #pediatrician & researcher at UVA who helped write the American Academy of #Pediatrics' guidelines on safe #infant sleep.

"At the very beginning of Back to Sleep, the number of #deaths decreased by 50%, which is huge," Moon says.

"The letter, bearing the seal of the Idaho Attorney General's office, seeks to prohibit the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) from endorsing puberty blockers as a form of reversible gender-affirming care for transgender teenagers, using consumer protection laws as the basis."

With women and trans people, GOP legislators presume to know better than doctors and demand the right to dictate good medical practice to specialists.

"On Tuesday, a group of 22 Republican attorneys general, led by Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, sent a letter to the president and vice president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, accusing the organization of violating consumer protection laws by endorsing the use of puberty blockers."

American pediatrician and microbiologist Hattie Alexander died #OTD in 1968.

Alexander first became interested in influenzal meningitis. Experimenting with rabbit serums, by 1939 Alexander had developed an effective cure for influenzal meningitis. Her work with influenzal meningitis led her to study antibiotics, and she made considerable progress in understanding the genetic mutation of bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics.

"Haidt offers four controversial suggestions:

No smartphones for kids before high school — give them only flip phones in middle school.
No social media before age 16.
Make schools phone-free, by putting devices in phone lockers or Yondr pouches.
Give kids far more free play and independence, including more and better recess."

Not 'little adults': Experts say #longCOVID undercounted, misdiagnosed in kids | CIDRAP cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/not-li “many children likely aren't diagnosed as having long COVID because they don't recognize or have the vocabulary to report their symptoms.

"Kids don't come home and say, 'Mom, I have postexertional malaise, I have brain fog,'" he said. "What happens is that they start doing poorly in school, and parents find out weeks and weeks later." #pediatrics

"Covid pandemic linked to surge in child and teen diabetes

A new study in JAMA Network Open journal has collated available data from different countries, including the UK, on more than 38,000 young people diagnosed during the pandemic.

The authors describe the increase in cases of diabetes as "substantial".

More work is needed to understand why the rise is happening, they say.

Some of the rise could be attributed to catch-up - from backlogs and delays when health services were shut - but does not explain all of the newly diagnosed cases, say scientists.

Before the pandemic, the incidence rate of childhood type 1 diabetes was already increasing - by about 3% a year.

The recent study found:

there was a 14% rise in the rate during the first year of the pandemic, compared to before Covid
in the second year of Covid, the rate was up about 27% on pre-pandemic levels
