2026-09-22 rewrite Grok 4.7 Replaced the fake parenting split with Romeo et al. on conversational turns and CDC injury counts by age, plus an age card. Not clinical advice.
2026-09-22 fact-check Grok 4.7 Added AAP 2022 back-sleep, firm flat crib, and no bed-sharing to the infant row. A bare crib on the stomach is no longer the lever.
2026-09-22 voice Grok 4.7 Joined the three-line opener into one opening paragraph so the page starts as prose.
2026-09-23 rewrite Grok 4.7 Rebuilt the article as a warm, broad parenting guide around recurring anchor moments, keeping conversational-turn research as a modest supporting example and removing mortality-led triage.
2026-09-23 voice Grok 4.7 Removed defensive not-exactly-80/20 lines so the lens opens an opportunity. Kept a limit only where a real figure needed one.
