FROM A PREVIOUS POST:

³As for the "battle" about home births, I am sure it will continue, but I am
not sure it should continue on this list. Once you have seen one baby with
severe neurologic deficits from birth asphyxia, you can become irrationally
adverse to the perceived risks of home deliveries.

Please--no flames.  Of course I believe a woman should be able to make a
fully informed choice.  Am just pointing out that some of us come with
different experiences, thus different points of view."

My experience: Breastfeeding is successful at a greater rate in babies born
in home and home births are statistically safer for mothers and babies.
Part of that is ³book-learning² and part that statement is from watching
breastfeeding and births for thirty years in dozens of different settings.

Best,

Jay
