Hi Sally,
I am passing on the message on behalf of someone else. However, one possible
reason for concern about infection might be if mum is a Hep B or C carrier.
Currently we bath babes of these women as soon as we can. Others we wait for
at least 24 hours to do first bath.

Pardon my ignorance, but what would be the risk of infection?
I think as long as the babe's temp is ok and it hasn't been compromised in
any way it doesn't really matter. As long as the parents are happy. I
certainly wouldn't be bathing the baby if the parents were unable to
participate, at any sta
Hello list. I've subscribed so I can submit details of my situation
for anyone who wants to respond, and so I can keep an eye out for anything that
comes up about twins births. I'm not a midwife or anything, so I hope it's
ok to do this.
I'm a public patient at Box Hill hospital in Melbou
Dear fellow list members,
What is your practice regarding the timing of the first bath, in a hospital
setting? One of my colleagues is re-examining our current practice of
delaying the first bath until approx 24hrs, and after babe's temp is
confirmed to be normal. We are keen to know the rationale
Thanks to Miriam, Julie and Anne for your replies to my query re-evening
primrose oil.
Cheers, Joanne.

Oh I have to disagree, I have had a tooth abscess and it is WAY worse than
natural birth. There is no mental work you can do to make sense of broken limbs
or dying teeth - you are in pain because something is VERY wrong. This is
nothing like labour (was for me). It is likely that I was in more p
It was very funny to watch Oprah have her ears pierced!!! Along this track,
my mother says that childbirth is like that tooth ache you get if you need
root canal therapy! only much more bearable because you get breaks in
between!!

Excellent Mary, as long as midwives don’t shoot the messenger (been getting a bit of that lately!!)
Women centred seems such a prostituted term!!

I had my ears pierced at 12, I remember it was 'cold' - they must have
used some kind of spray on local or something. Got a tattoo on my
stomach 4 years ago, it kinda stung going on, (took about an hour or so
to do), I kept having to 'unclench' my jaw every now & then while it was
happening...
Did anyone see Oprah getting her ears pierced on her show recently it
was hysterical. Just reinforced my lack of desire to have mine done
and I gave birth to three big babies without much trouble at all.

I assured her that I hated stubbing a toe too and as far as the dentist was
concerned - give me childbirth any day (had a funny conv
