My... Nikki, how sad indeed... :-(
Can't they understand that for temperture and blood suger to come up, mom's
body is the best place to be for this little one...?
How is it, that we as a society have drifted away from our roots so far...?
Warmly,
Marianne Vanderveen, Netherlands (still battling with the guideline that
promotes distance between mom and child, for picking him up when he's crying
will teach him that his parents are there for him all the time, which in
some people's minds is a bad thing to learn for a baby... :-s :-( ...)
