Hi all,

I am a lurker on Lactnet, but felt I needed to reply to Jean's email 
about skin to skin, especially the last sentence.  This is such a 
good example of language and turning language into the 
positive.  Thus, skin to skin care is the norm and removing the baby 
to another place is abnormal.

Could this also be said with the bedsharing that Nikki discusses in 
the following emails?

Regards,
Ruth
