Not sure of appropriateness of the above subject heading but I just can't help myself this time. Ever scan the "pediatric medscape" titles of articles (which I just did) and think about what appears to be of greatest medical concern for pediatric patients, asthma, psychiatric disorders, childhood anxiety, immunizations for babies in daycare, diabetes, could be "cured" (well, certainly lessened) if breastfeeding, and empathic parenting, were the norm? Just musing and sighing about the obvious solution and wondering why "they" (whoever they is) don't get it..... (I know there are other factors involved, but wouldn't it be nice to use that fairy wand here/) Barbara Latterner *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
