I just wanted to write to say thank you Gloria for these wise words.
Your views on the 'inner need for a big story' really resonated with me
have made me think about how we ( I include myself in this!) either
allow or encourage situations to play out to fulfill this need yes

Hi Carina
You've brought up some points that are good food for thought. It was a
tragedy the day that milk banks were closed in Australia due to the scare
with HIV, despite pasteurisation easily killing HIV (I wonder why sperm
banks weren't also closed??). I note that a new bank is opening in WA
Well done! MM

I feel breastfeeding advocates have been "hoisted

best. Not the obvious, that breast is normal; formula feeding is not, and
some risks. Risks which we may choose to accept, or may have to

22 years ago there was an astounding amount of research on the risks (anal

misinformation about the benefit of this route and that was before
Dear Barb
Your thoughtful discussion of he b'feeding issue is well-said and accords with
what other LCs say I think. I am not one to argue for simplistic and
individualistic interpretations of women's 'choice', eg to have elective
caesars or to bottle feed, because all 'choices' are

The World Health Organisation and most research

Dear Denise,
My point is that there is a group of women who do not fit this mould and that it is dangerous to assume that women who are having problems with breastfeeding are doing so because of the fragmented medical model of maternity care. I can

Thank you Kerreen and Carina. It seems to me that
despite the BFHI about 10 to 20 % of women within our maternity system will and
do have problems with breastfeeding. I appreciate that only 1 % may have truly
insurmountable difficulties neverthless
Hi ,
We have not done rectal temps on babies or infants for more than 18
years. About that time we got terumo axilla thermometers and have
continued to use them They are very accurate .I did some comparisions
when we first got them between the axilla thermometers and rectal temps
and found they

This was very good

Justine, just a note to say I was looking
for policies about epidural top-ups. This does not mean I as a midwife use
them unless of extreme need. We do
use deep water though mothers at home dont have access due to water

Thank you Jo for your email - these are definitely not the way we want
women's experiences to occur, and I'm sure that some of your experiences

With all due respect Justine, who would
