Also helps for baby to sleep on their side (using bolsters to keep them there - we use men's tube socks filled FIRMLY with white rice and then the ends knotted - they're heavy enough to keep a small baby from rolling over and also work as hot / cold packs via microwaving or freezing)- just like sleeping on their left side helps some with indigestion / heart burn during pregnancy (letting gravity pull stuff in / toward the stomach organ and anything trying to go back up has to get past the gravity pull).

Pulling on the cord was first recommended by Mauriceau in 1673, who feared that the uterus might close before the placenta was spontaneously delivered.21 In fact, the recumbent (lying) postures, increasingly adopted under doctor's care meant that spontaneous delivery of the placenta was less likely: the upright postures that women and midwives have traditionally used encourage the placenta to fall out with the help of gravity.

This kind of feature is also used with the Cozy Bump in order to cradle the growing belly in a tilted manner, thus reducing pressure and tension on the spine and the posterior and uterine area that is often caused by the downward pull of gravity.

Unlike other fish, which inflate air bladders to adjust their buoyancy on the fly, sharks rely on a skeleton of cartilage and a liver filled with lighter - than - water oil to help beat gravity's pull.

If the universe's expansion was slowing significantly, it would be fair to conclude there was unaccounted gravity pulling it back on itself, with a huge amount of dark matter at the root.

Ongoing work includes reworking the calculations of the physics by factoring in smaller influences on a Mars - bound spacecraft than the pull of gravity from Mars itself, such as Jupiter's gravitational pull.

And by testing the effect of gravity on BECs of two different types of atoms, an atom interferometer could test the principle that all objects, no matter their weight or composition, accelerate at the exact same rate under gravity's pull — as Galileo Galilei supposedly demonstrated by dropping balls of different materials off the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.

To collapse, dark matter would need a way to lose energy, slowing particles as gravity pulls them into the center of the clump, so they can glom on to one another rather than zipping right through.

On Earth, gravity pulls at the atoms the moment they are released, typically giving physicists just 10 to 20 milliseconds to make their measurements before the BEC crashes to the bottom of the vacuum chamber.

Some researchers believe there must be some cut - off point where classical physics takes over, such as the point where the weak pull of gravity overwhelms other forces (in fact, gravity's effect on neutrons was recently measured).
