Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 22:16:30 -0500 From: Susan Keith-Hergert <[log in to unmask]> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: benadryl for sleep and multinationals Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just want to say that all of this talk about Benadryl for baby sleep reminds me of "Clan of the Cave Bear" when the women needed to be able to hold ritual all night without interruption and...gave all of their babies an herbal sleep concoction of sorts. Does anyone else recall this? My guess is that this sort of thing is quite common...for occasional relief...don't think it would be good every night. i think every mom I've ever talked to has admitted, sheepishly, to something of this sort. Dimetapp is another time honored favorite. I love the multinational thread that we are on now. This month I was asked to do a "call to social action" at our church. I talked about that...how breastfeeding was a statement that says to the multinationals "we can do just fine without you!" All the young, breastfeeding moms in the congregation came up after service and thanked me profusely....they needed to feel they were doing something for the world and this was the confirmation they sought. There is a reason for multinationals to impede lactation at every turn...and don't kid yourself...if we can produce this "first food" for our babies we just might get uppity and start growing food for ourselves...then we might start making our own clothes...the possibilities are limitless!
