If we are  convinced, and wish to convince others, that intervention
in birth causes  short-term difficulties with BF plus long-term health
concerns that we  haven't defined clearly yet, than we have to find the
evidence and report  it.  There is a very long way to go and we will have
to be prepared to  potentially be disappointed by findings that are not
to our liking.   It is far too late too simply say that interventions
should just stop  because we _think_ they may be over-used.


Dear Friends:
    There is plenty of evidence that points to  relationships between
prenatal history, birth events, and adult outcomes. Odent  has collected a site full
of them (Primal Health Data Bank  _http://www.birthworks.org/primalhealth/_
(http://www.birthworks.org/primalhealth/) ).
