It is nearly seven months since the editors mentioned that they were looking into the article. Do you have any updates on the review process? Tens of thousands of parents and caregivers rely on research like the one presented in this article, so it is an urgent public welfare issue rather than a debate on some arcane scientific phenomenon.
