I got mad at the pediatrician at one of our "well visits" a while back, because she was asking something about guns. The AAP is very anti-gun. Cuz, you know, Guns Kill Kids!

Umm...sorta:
A disproportionate burden of firearm injuries, both fatal and non-fatal, occurs in males, non-Caucasian children, and those aged 12 years and older. Injury prevention strategies should be targeted towards these children.


Translation: it's black teenagers getting shot. Who knew?

I tried to make an argument about SIDS, too, but the doctors just don't freaking listen.

There are roughly 10 risk factors for SIDS, which can double/triple/whatever the rate at which it occurs. So I asked the doctor what the odds were for children with none of those risk factors. Silence.

Yeah, my kids mostly slept on their bellies, cuz they slept better that way.
It's not me, it's someone else.
