Bangladeshi parents are worried about obtaining a visa for a post-surgery examination after their baby's uncommon condition was treated in Kolkata.
Kolkata: A Bangladeshi couple is now worried about obtaining a visa to travel to the city for the child's post-surgery examination after their nine-month-old boy was given new life after receiving treatment for a rare condition at a Kolkata hospital. Ridwan Habib Ilham, a baby from Bangladesh's Jessore district, was diagnosed with "craniosynostosis," a condition in which the skull bones fuse too soon, impeding brain development and ultimately resulting in an aberrant head shape. "After a successful reconstructive surgery at a private hospital in Kolkata, we brought our child back to Bangladesh," the baby's father, Ahsan Habib Rubel, told PTI from Benapole in the neighboring country.

Russia attempts to increase the birth rate by outlawing "child-free propaganda."
Reuters, Moscow, November 12 In an attempt to increase a declining birth rate, Russia's lower chamber of parliament overwhelmingly decided on Tuesday to outlaw what officials described as harmful promotion promoting a childless lifestyle.According to official data issued in September, while Moscow's war in Ukraine continues, the birth rate is at its lowest level in 25 years, while mortality rates are rising. The numbers were deemed "catastrophic for the future of the nation" by the Kremlin.In order to safeguard the future of Russians, President Vladimir Putin, who has portrayed Russia as a bulwark of "traditional values" engaged in an existential conflict with a corrupt West, has urged women to have at least three children. Financial and other incentives are already in place. The law, which is anticipated to be swiftly approved by Putin and the upper house of parliament, joins other restrictions on free expression, such as a ban on dissenting accounts of the conflict in Ukraine and on content that is thought to encourage "non-traditional lifestyles" like same-sex relationships or gender fluidity.Individuals who create "child-free propaganda" might face fines of up to 400,000 roubles ($4,100), officials twice that amount, and legal entities up to 5 million roubles ($51,000). In the first half of 2024, Russia had 599,600 births, the fewest since 1999 and 16,000 fewer than in the first half of 2023. The death toll increased by 49,000.

The baby care sector in China is expanding overall.
According to Mintel China, the Chinese baby care market is expanding rapidly, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.5% predicted by 2023. The market for baby care has been steadily expanding through both online and offline distribution channels since China relaxed the One Child Policy in 2016 and Chinese families' household incomes increased. In recent years, domestic rivalry in China's infant care industry has strengthened, including sales of other child care-related products including strollers, bottles, baby seats, cribs, and baby clothes, even though international names are still preferred, particularly when it comes to baby milk formula. Even while the primary distributors are still offline channels like supermarkets and specialty infant care shops, theE-commerce makes it possible to buy more baby care products from overseas. E-commerce purchases of baby care goods are a major driver of the market's expansion in China. Along with food and cosmetics, cross-border internet sales of baby care products are among the most popular among Chinese consumers. Baby items, particularly those related to baby personal care, like body powder, lotions and creams, baby bug repellant, and shower gels, are used more frequently, according to consumer data. Baby care items are still preferred to be imported, and Chinese consumers can buy international brands through cross-border e-commerce thanks to the country's massive e-commerce network.E-commerce accounts for half of all baby-related product purchases. In China's infant care distribution business, physical stores are increasingly vying for customers' attention, with online channels accounting for half of the mother and baby retail market value. With 47% of the total online merchandise volume as of 2017, Tmall leads this half of the market, followed by JD with 27%.

"I can build that community, so it's incredibly essential to me. And that's what matters most in my life; I just want to serve and encourage others. And I believe that this job gave me the chance to do that," Aguilar stated.She wanted to find out what she could do in her life to support other parents after moving to East Palo Alto from Mexico around two years ago.Now, Aguilar's interest is her daycare service, which looks after kids from one to five years old. "They think highly of themselves. "They can acquire problem-solving skills," Aguilar stated. For many of the kids, Spanish is their first language. She talked about how raising her kids as a single parent had presented numerous challenges. When she was working, she wished there had been more resources available to care for her kids. Currently, she aspires to assist working parents in the Bay Area."Finding the perfect person to look after my girls and a space for them to run between jobs was incredibly difficult for me. At the time, it was really stressful. I can now assist other mothers, particularly when they are by themselves, thanks to this program," Aguilar added. She went on to say that the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center's assistance made her dream come true. She completed ten courses and received funding from the center to launch her daycare.

Nevadans must solve the daily challenge of child care in order to engage in the workforce.
Only parents who have children understand the genuine challenges of child care. That is, child care is not considered a major societal concern unless it interferes with an individual's capacity to perform their job or fulfill their obligations to employers. The lack of child care options would cause Nevada's workforce and economy to come to a complete halt.A child care symposium was held by the Vegas Chamber Foundation on July 23rd, and those interested in resolving the child care dilemma in the Silver State, including parents, employers, and community members, participated. The state of our child care desert, as described by policymakers and government officials, is characterized by a severe shortage of high-quality child care facilities relative to the demand for them, low pay for caregivers, and negative effects on families, employers, and kids. As parents of little children, we understand that child care is more than just a contentious policy issue for the Nevada Legislature in 2025, as do a great number of Nevadans. Parents must continue to piece together a daily puzzle in order to be employed. We see you, families who depend on center-based child care so they can keep working. We see you, single parents juggling schedules with babysitters to take care of their kids. To the Nevadans fortunate enough to have the multigenerational assistance of grandparents and extended family to watch their children while they work — we see you. To the families who are impatiently hoping that their child's name would rise to the top of the waiting list at the daycare center of their choice

During the epidemic in India, 3% more low birth weight babies were born study
A recent study has revealed that during the Covid-19 epidemic, the proportion of low birth weight newborns in India increased significantly by approximately three percent.It was also discovered that babies born during the pandemic had double the chance of being underweight at birth.Since low-weight babies are known to frequently "struggle with school," the rise in low-birth-weight babies may have long-term effects on the development of "human capital," according to corresponding author Santosh Kumar, an associate professor of development and global health economics at the University of Notre Dame in the United States. "Children who have lower birth weight as infants often go on to struggle with school and this limits their capacity to develop what economists often call 'human capital' -- the key knowledge and skills that will affect their ability to earn a good living and support themselves and their families," Kumar stated.Worldwide, almost one in four newborns (about 3 crore) are underweight, which the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies as weighing less than 2.5 kg.The authors of the study published in the journal Communications Medicine estimate that 95% of these newborns are born in low- and middle-income countries, with about half of them in South Asia.
