Can't resist adding my bit to this. I've had 1 baby on land and 2 babies in the water and wouldn't birth anywhere else(by choice).

Hi Jo, I'm not sure on this but I have heard that a speech pathologist can assist with this and of course a good osteopathic treatment can also be of benefit. Good luck, Megan. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jo Slamen Sent: Friday, 6 Decem

This makes me think back to a recent posting of the family whose first baby was born still at home and the baby had a lotus birth. Where the placenta was left attached to baby, and in this case forever. I see this as a wonderful gift to a child and perhaps the family you are with may consider this
