I’m not sure how this immaculate conception works, but maybe also baby formula in case Mary wasn’t lactating since this was a… mysterious pregnancy.

Weird nitpick, and I only know this because it was a bar trivia question that I got wrong once: the Immaculate Conception actually refers to Mary’s conception, not Jesus’.

… I know right? Like what?

Oh my non pun intendedly God… I was raised Catholic. I don’t think a single person knows it.

I’m just getting church flashbacks to mentions of “virgin Mary, conceived without sin”, and never thought of it. But then she wasn’t a virgin at the time of Jesus birth?

Edit: OK, I’m reading more about it and think I understand now. So it’s 2 different things. Mary was born from sex. Sex is not what the “born without sin” is about, but about humanity inheriting Adam and Eve’s original sin. Jesus was born without sex, and Mary was indeed a virgin.

I can’t believe no one ever properly explained this part of the story in the 9 years of useless Sunday school.

Eh, we’re talking about Christianity here… Is it really that hard to believe?

If she was able to have the labor portion, I’d assume everything else went according to normal pregnancy standards. So, yes, I guess 14-year old Mary was lactating?
