And yes, so go ahead.

So there's three parts to it.

So when I'm teaching chiropractors and I've run a course for osteos in the past, there's three parts of the baby that I'm looking at.

Nerves, muscles and joints.

When it comes to nerves, there are some babies that will prefer turning one way because they've got some what we call primitive reflexes that work differently on one side of the body compared to the other side of the body.

And Lily, you're more an expert in this field than I am.

But if I do a rooting reflex on a baby like this on one side, so I'm stimulating the cheek on the left of the baby and they turn really strongly to that side, and I stimulate the rooting reflex on the other side and they don't turn so strongly to that side, any sort of stimulation this baby experiences on the face, whether they touch it or rub it, they might be more inclined to turn that way.

Could you describe that? And can you mention whether that's actually a useful tool or not?

Talk about what in the world is going on with this, this budget request for this administration, in your view.

Yeah, so, so this is a, a unique budget request, $1.5 trillion.

Um, you know, last year's budget request in 2026 was roughly a trillion doll- Uh, you know, it, the details is in, you know, the devil's in the details, as you said earlier.

It's about a 44% increase from '26 to '27.

But in round terms, a billion to a trillion dollars, 50% increase.

$350 billion of it is what is known as reconciliation submission or mandatory funding is what, uh, the administration is, is calling it.

And it's actually the, the administration is calling it a generational investment, the $1.5 trillion, and I absolutely agree with it Um, but, you know, in my mind, a generational investment is, is not just a, you know, one-time investment of $1.5 trillion.

How, how does this, how does this shake out?

When should you be taking your newborn? How, how soon?

So my personal view is there's no literature that will describe when the best time is, but my personal experience is the fourth trimester is a very unique time, as most parents will know.

The first 12 weeks is a bit of a roller coaster, and particularly at the six, seven, eight weeks, and gut changes.

But at the six, seven, eight, I call it the six-week peak where the happiest babies will cry a bit more and then by 12 weeks they're crying a bit less and the saddest babies are crying a bit more at six weeks.

So I really, really like seeing babies before that six-week mark.

In fact, if I was to take it a step further, my recommendations, and I know this will sound like a partial piece of advice, not an impartial piece of advice, but I think all babies should get their as they feel comfortably possible.

So that might mean for someone who wants to spend the first month at home, they might go, okay, when the baby's a month old, I'll go and get my baby checked out.
