<< On a LC seminar a couple of weeks ago we discussed ''therapeutical
bathing''
as an option for latching problems in newborns (mom and baby take a nice warm
bath together, sometimes called rebirthing) and we came to the conclusion
that it is dufficult to have new moms do this because in our country mom is
not allowed to bath but baby is, and in other countries mom is allowed to
bath but baby is not.
Ain't it a strange world we're living in? >>

What I think is strange is that anyone thinks they have the authority to tell
a mother  she cannot take a bath or give one to her baby. Of course, I
consider it even more strange that mothers listen to them.
