Dear Nursing Students,

For more information about birth practices from the "other side", please 
read these books: Impact of Birth Practices on Breastfeeding by M. 
Kroeger and L. Smith (this one is probably the most research oriented), 
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin, A Good Birth, A Safe 
Birth, (third revised edition) by D. Korte, Natural Childbirth The 
Bradley Way (revised edition) by S. McCutcheon, The Caesarean by M. 
Odent. Also this web site for "FDA Approved Obstetric Drugs: Their 
Effect on Mother and Baby" www.nwhalliance.org. These books cover the 
questions you are asking about birthing procedures and after birth 
practices. I am sure there are others but this is all I could remember 
now. I have no financial interest in these books, just been brushing up 
on my own reading lately in preparation for teaching a BF class at 
Babies R Us.
