The breastfeeding "Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative" could be harmful to new mothers / babies
By Hicbd
"However, a small but vocal group of pediatricians and nurses, led by the nonprofit Fed Is Best, has begun to criticize some of the strategies that Baby-Friendly hospitals use, arguing that not only do they unduly pressure mothers to breastfeed, but that the designation also may not improve breastfeeding rates in the first year of life as intended...On the Fed Is Best website, parents and health care providers tell stories of babies who were dropped or nearly suffocated by exhausted moms trying to breastfeed."

Purses / bags / clothing / jackets could be made out of sails
By Hicbd
"Sea Bags are born as sails and transformed into nautically inspired totes and accessories that bring our customers great happiness. You see, we believe that sails soak up sun, salt, smiles and adventure. Of course we clean our sails before we make them into bags, our materials retain the essence of what they once were, where they've been and what they've done. It's this previous life that makes each bag unique."

E-commerce returns could not end up as garbage
By Hicbd
"'From all those returns, there’s now nearly 6 billion pounds of landfill waste generated a year and 16 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions as well,” said Tobin Moore, CEO of returns solution provider Optoro. “That’s the equivalent of the waste produced by 3.3 million Americans in a year.' Moore says online purchases are at least three times more likely to be returned than items bought in a store."

Toddler formula could be unhealthy
By Hicbd
"Given the lack of regulation, it's not surprising that there is wide variation in the composition of toddler formulas. But what is particularly worrisome, says the AAP, is that some of these products are actually unhealthy. They may have too little or too much protein, or have added sweeteners. These added sweeteners can build a child's "sweet tooth" and set them on the path to obesity. Additionally, toddler formulas are more expensive than cow's milk, creating a financial burden for families — one that is definitely not worth it."

A polo could be made with a dress collar
By Hicbd
"Collars & Co. and the Dress Collar Polo™ was created because we hated wearing dress shirts under our sweaters and jackets everyday to work in NYC. It was always uncomfortable, hot, a pain to get on and then after wearing them, we would have to have our expensive dress shirts dry cleaned...We set out on a one year journey to find a factory, the perfect fabric and a designer that could create the perfect buttery soft polo with a standard English spread collar."

Nerve injuries / paralysis could be reduced during childbirth
By Hicbd
"Studies estimate around 40,000 new moms experience some form of nerve injury due to childbirth each year. A Facebook community of survivors has two and a half thousand members, and offers a supportive forum for victims who have suffered injuries ranging from temporary pain to permanent paralysis...She is also working with the Texas hospital to introduce new guidelines that instructs nurses and other medical professionals to move laboring women's bodies every 30 minutes. Now, experts say nerve damage related to lower body positioning should be granted more attention."

"Alison also brought NINE wigs. At first, I hesitated, but she explained the genius logic: “Zach is obsessed with the idea of how wigs give you confidence. Karaoke scares a lot of people, but with a wig you become a different person and feel braver than you normally would.”...You know how a party usually takes an hour or two to warm up? For people to get settled and start mingling? For the energy to pick up? Well, this video was taken 15 MINUTES after the party started. Everyone was already unhinged."

Alumni life updates could be compiled in a book
By Hicbd
"If you attended Harvard College—even if only for one day—you have been asked to submit to the above exercise every five years since, for publication in a typically red-covered book in advance of each reunion. Perhaps you can’t be bothered; perhaps you are loath to broadcast details of a personal nature; but if you are like many others, you revel in this regular opportunity to share your evolution and reflections with others in your class."

Tearjerker / melodrama movies could be made
By Hicbd
"Tear-jerkers have existed throughout Hollywood’s history — movies were making audiences cry even before they could make a sound — but as a prestige genre they hit their peak in the 1970s and 1980s, climaxing with 1983’s “Terms of Endearment,” which won an Oscar for best picture...Tear-jerkers used to provide a shared space where we had permission to feel those emotions together. Since the era of ancient Greece, dramatic tragedies have offered us a necessary means of emotional purgation, and Aristotle argued that this catharsis served to turn audience members into more attuned, grateful and ethical citizens."

Lactose could be better than corn syrup in baby formula
By Hicbd
"Research indicates that corn-syrup-based formulas are metabolized differently by infants compared to lactose-based formulas and human milk. Small studies have shown that the former alters the infant microbiome, as well as eating habits of toddlers...For babies having certain digestive issues, Porto recommends a formula with proteins that have been broken down, or hydrolyzed, to make them easier to digest. However, there are no fully hydrolyzed formulas, and only a few partially hydrolyzed formulas, made with lactose."
