Noticed an article about "Is breast really best" along similar lines to Melb child article, but advice giving, not a story. Also an article called "Too posh to push - why the rich (and you!) celebrities are having caeserians". Article in "Practical parenting" called "feeding Phoebe" with a lot of incorrect feeding advice examples...that are not corrected! Sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out!!! To make matters worse, where I work (a secondary college), you cannot access a site that has breastfeeding women in it because it is considered 'forbidden', and is filtered. Not even ABA!!! And my cousin, who ended up opting for elective caesarian has given her 2 day old baby a dummy (I know, its not the end of the world, but I pray it doesnt affect her feeding relationship or cause confusion, and it put the icing on the cake after a really bad day) Is all that we do useless? When do we get to see change? Regards, Macha. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
