       Dear Friends:
                When will people learn to stop trusting ultrasounds? How many
times have I heard this story about a 'huge baby' and have to induce and the
baby is at least a pound, often more, lighter than the prediction.
                How can mothers trust breastfeeding when the machinery is
what drives the delivery these days?
       warmly,
       Nikki Lee
