Dear Friends:
    Thank you Laurie, and Catherine  and Ann, and  all for such fine 
responses and support.
    The couple in question are very much interested in  complementary 
therapies. They chose a midwife, and a lovely birth center. I  taught their 
childbirth classes.
    For them, this surprise cesarean section have  stunned them into 
accepting whatever the NICU staff says. Especially when that  staff is telling them 
all the awful things that might happen if this big boy  crashes, and gets 
primary pulmonary hypertension or something else that is  awful.     
    It is difficult, maybe even impossible to expect a  mother to be 
proactive in light of different experts saying different things. I  have contacted 
their care provider, and my director and am hoping to open some  minds at a 
higher level, so babies will have more of a chance to breastfeed in  the NICU.
    This is the same NICU where a nurse told me that  s2s is bad for premies, 
because of their unstability. 
    Talk about another jaw-dropping moment!
    warmly,
