>>FTT in child #7.  I have been reading this thread with interest.  Please do
not overlook the obvious simply because the mother is experienced.  Mothers
of many children are not LCs, they have experienced several infants, not
dozens or hundreds.<<

Interesting comment. What I've been noticing lately is that mothers of
several children don't necessarily recognize a problem right away, precisely
*because* of their experience. They've learned to be relaxed, learned that
most things work themselves out, and so may miss a problem while waiting for
the "natural" resolution. I've had a string of them lately, and chuckled over
their common factor.
