Anne asks,

<<  tub baths in
 the mother's room as a final step before we close the nursery down. Those of
 you who do TUB BATHS in mom's room - do you buy new bath tubs for each
 infant? Do you clean and recycle? Any suggestions welcome.. >>

Tub baths?  As in put the BABY in the tub?  Surely you jest!  My stars and
garters....this is unamerican!  This is heresy!!  This is -- umph, hurrumph,
well -- against political correctness.  Surely you KNOW that putting a baby
in a tub with WATER before the cord falls off will cause -- ummm -- well, at
the least, cord rot.  And probably an infection.  And maybe he'll need a
liver transplant.  Why, I'm sure there are simply thousands of sound,
reliable studies that have demonstrated that babies who are put in tub baths
before the cord falls off have dropped dead faster than babies who were not
put in tubs -- Leboyer not withstanding.  Isn't "not tub bathing" evidence
based research?  Hmmmm????

Truly Anne, are you really truly tub bathing babies in your nursery?  What a
wonderful departure from TRADITION!! (Hear me sing it loud and clear --
TRADITION!)  Would that we could get the rest of the U.S. to do what other
countries have been doing for years....

Is there hope?

But I don't have an answer to your question.

Jan B -- in Wheaton where we have lived with "Fiddler on the Roof" for nigh
unto 6 weeks now, and where the cast got a standing ovation last night!
TRA--DI--TION!!
