Hearing how current Admin is concerned about early birth (low birthweight) kids. As our population increases, humans are putting so much pollution into the air. 2nd leading cause of death!! If current admin is so worried, they shouldn't be rolling back environmental regulations. Serious disconnect.

Here's the Reddit post.
Anyone who spent time on the Bob Dylan Reddit would understand that this was a joke based on Bob Dylan's birthweight, since the question was about "minimum weight" and the person gave Dylan's birthdate.

Another wild thing I've learnt from paediatrics today.
In this era of modern medicine, it is actually POSSIBLE for extremely premature babies less than 400 grams birthweight to survive (though still high risk of complications)
For context, the normal baby birthweight is 3 kilograms.

Their milestones were all delayed by several days and combined with their low birthweight and lack of fur on the extremities when born, I suspect they were premature.
But they grew and thrived. #PsychKittensBirthday

Harris has proposed giving $6,000 (via refundable tax credit) to families in the 1st year of a baby's life.
Flint, Michigan has been doing this for the past year. The results are incredible:
Fewer babies born with low birthweight
No families evicted in baby’s 1st year
Less hunger

If women can't get continuous healthcare before, during, and after pregnancy, it is no surprise their babies are dying at higher rates.
Leading causes of infant death in Mississippi include congenital malformations, premature birth, low birthweight, and SIDS.

Their low birthweight combined with severely delayed milestones (they were three weeks old before they opened their eyes) suggest to me they were premature. When I say these kittens surviving was a miracle, I mean it. Yeah, I'm good, but I'm not THAT good. Miracles.

Her baby was born full term but low birthweight and months later is still in the bottom percentile for size.
It’s too early to tell if there are more severe issues - but everytime they go to the hospital for a check up - everyone is unmasked. /3
