  "summary_plain": "A suggested reading order for a baby's first year: feeding, sleep, growth checks, milestones, and vaccines. It is a reading order, not medical advice and not a care plan.",
  "summary_technical": "An editorial sequence of 10 steps over 10 records, drawn from pages in this atlas that exist today; it links only to existing records and each step restates what the linked record says. It branches nowhere and is not a care pathway. The plan also named MedlinePlus pages on infant and newborn care; they are not repeated here. Several pages cover advice for one country or one trial population, and each page states its own scope.",
