<< Just a short addition to Holly Peete and breastfeeding. Holly is a
friend of Oprah, who followed her pregnancy and threw her a baby shower
on her show, but what I loved about it was her dedication to breastfeed
while pregnant. Even after discovering she was expecting twins, she
continued to be dedicated to breastfeeding, this is the type of media
exposure that is positive and what our young women need to see. I am
glad to hear that she is breastfeeding and once again in a public venue,
presenting it.>>>>>
I saw the show where Holly was still pregnant. What really got my goat was
Oprah asking her *you're going to have an epidural, right!* The message she
sends, frequently, is the only way to have a baby is with an epidural. That is
what started me on my Oprah compaign, requesting she do a show on *normal
birth*. I send letters, email and post to her board weekly. Oprah is sooo
powerful, a voice heard all across the country. If she says epidurals are the
way to go, it must be so!!! WRONG!!!!!!
