The Book Claiming to Teach Couples How to Select Their Baby’s Sex

The Book Claiming to Teach Couples How to Select Their Baby’s Sex

Published by Daniella Wilson

When Christina Kattula, a 31-year-old yoga teacher in Michigan, was ready to start a family in 2024, she hoped for a son. Her husband “wanted a boy to bond with,” she told me. “And if we had girls later, he thought it would be cute to have a protective-big-brother-type thing.” Kattula decided to try something she’d heard about on a podcast: the so-called Babydust Method. The theory, which was first laid out in a self-published book from 2016, claims, contrary to scientific evidence, that couples can influence their baby’s sex by precisely timing when they have intercourse. Why not try it? she thought. What’s the harm if it doesn’t work? Kattula and her husband followed the book’s advice, and she became pregnant with a boy. During her pregnancy, Kattula posted a TikTok to her few hundred followers recommending the book to other couples. “Blessed either way,” she said in the video. “But it worked for us. If you’re on your last kid and you’re really, really trying for something, read The Babydust Method.” She’s one …

The unexpected health benefit of a baby’s first encounter with mom’s poo

The unexpected health benefit of a baby’s first encounter with mom’s poo

Get the Well Enough newsletter with Harry Bullmore for tips on living a healthier, happier and longer life Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore It may sound surprising – even a little shocking – but the very first thing many babies encounter when they’re born is their mother’s poo. If they’re born vaginally, head down, with the face against their mother’s rectum, the pressure can expel faecal material just as they are born. In other words, they can be born with their mother’s poo on their face. As confronting as that image may be, this early exposure is not only normal but likely beneficial. Microbes from their mother acquired during birth, and especially from the mother’s poo, help shape a baby’s developing gut and immune system, setting the stage for lifelong health. But that doesn’t mean you can smear poo on your newborn baby’s face to boost their exposure to microbes. That’s dangerous and definitely not advised. Birth is the moment when babies are exposed …

Baby’s First Metafiction

Baby’s First Metafiction

Published by Jenni Sidey

Metafiction is a fancy-sounding word for something pretty simple. It’s a literary technique where a writer in a book or story directly references the fictionality of the work. Sometimes, this is referred to as breaking the fourth wall. To be honest, I think metafiction actually works much better in children’s books than it does in adult books. Picture books, especially, are often a collaborative reading experience, with an older reader and younger listeners. To me, the point of a picture book is rarely to get totally swept up and lost in the story. And while metafiction in adult books can sometimes feel jarring and awkward, I find that it really adds to the humor and meaning of a story when used in picture books. There is something beautiful when metafiction is used to help celebrate a love of reading. And it can also be hilariously funny when the author uses metafiction to help the readers feel like they are in on a secret joke. There are some famous and very popular examples of metafiction in …

Mom’s Good Heart Health Lowers Risk Of Baby’s Developmental Delays

Mom’s Good Heart Health Lowers Risk Of Baby’s Developmental Delays

Published by Sam Flores

By Dennis Thompson HealthDay ReporterWEDNESDAY, June 24, 2026 (HealthDay News) — Want to give your baby the best start in life? Then tend to your heart health, both prior to and during pregnancy, a new study says. Expectant mothers in worse heart health are more likely to have children who suffer from developmental delays, researchers reported June 23 in JAMA Network Open. “Better maternal cardiovascular health during pregnancy was associated with a lower risk of offspring developmental delay at age 4 years,” concluded the research team led by Mami Ishikuro, a senior assistant professor at Tohoku University in Japan. “This association was observed across multiple developmental domains, suggesting that maternal cardiovascular health during pregnancy may be relevant to broad aspects of offspring development,” the research team said. For the study, researchers analyzed data for more than 8,000 mothers who gave birth to children between July 2013 and March 2017 in Japan. The team assessed the mothers’ heart health based on the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 checklist. That framework judges heart health based on …
