Thank you for this timely review and analyses! It's sad this issue hangs on. One is inclined to think its the result of perverse intentions and monetary incentives.

One oddity. "Sex assigned at birth" An infant arrives, generally with a reckonizable sex. We are recording (not assigning) what is observed (IMO).

IMO, in recent times any number of perverse initiatives are being foist on (parents and) babies and children. Many, particularly these chemical and surgical interventions, are particularly damaging and irreversable.

In my time, on the advice of an expert physician, I was fed every 3 hrs, despite being screaming hungry at 2 hrs. My father left the house until the 3rd hr arrived. Have problems with unwanted hunger pangs when anxious. We need understandings (likely relevant education) to reach our own beneficial decisions on behalf of our children! Clearly, some in the Medical Community are tendering recommendations that lead to harms.

One surely hopes the efforts under way and more will continue and intensify for the sake of all the children at risk (and for the Medical Community credibility as a whole for that matter).
