A new bill in Congress would ban weighted sleep products for babies following warnings that the sleepwear is killing infants. Weighted sleep products, including blankets, swaddles and sleep sacks, are similar to mini sleeping bags, but their added weight can calm babies and lull them to sleep faster. The added weight can range from a few ounces to 1.5 pounds. Many parents swear by them.

This infant sleepwear may get banned after babies died

Some breast-feeding Irish moms rushed to help a pregnant orangutan who didn’t know how to feed her babies — personally demonstrating their technique to her through glass in an incredibly heartwarming effort.

The ape-to-human teaching moment took place over the past few months at the Dublin Zoo, the zoo said.

The touching move occurred before 19-year-old zoo orangutan Mujur delivered her healthy boy July 31, officials said. 

Mujur had given birth in 2019 and 2022, but both babies ultimately died when she didn’t “exhibit the necessary maternal qualities’’ — so something had to be tried differently this time around, the zoo said.

A video of a baby stroller left outside unattended sparked conversations about the practice of letting babies nap alone in cold weather. Australian TikTok user, Olly Bowman uploaded a video titled, "Another day in Norway, another group of babies left out alone in the cold." In the video, Bowman films himself and a group of baby strollers lined up on the street behind him. No parents were seen in the frame. "It helps with their breathing and makes them more independent," he said. As reported by Insider, social media users were shocked at the concept, with many interpreting this as a positive that parents feel comfortable leaving their children unsupervised without worrying about any possible danger.
