Wow, I am so shocked to read that, especially in this day and age of fake news and massive disinformation online. It is more important than ever to cite your sources, particularly medical information. I would have expected more from Beijing-Kids. Never assume your reader “already knows” or “recommendations have not quite changed” from what YOU were taught in school.

Please, please cite your sources. That is what is being taught to students in schools all across Beijing and the world right now.

Hi Heather, our apologies for not making it clear but these are the general recommendations the doctor I consulted at BJU told me, that echoes what I have learned from previous OB-GYNs and that I corroborated with further online research. As the recommendations have not quite changed from what I have been told in school, I assumed it would be a repetition to enforce what most of us already know and didn’t cite a specific source.
