Feb 23 WALL ST JOURNAL Anybody see this article re: 400% increase in skull
surgeries to correct a new syndrome of skull flattening in infants
suspected of having a RARE condition called synostosis or early congenital
fissure closure and head flattening (posterior skull) THis astounding
increase in major surgeries have been done in huge numbers since 1992 !!!!
Guess what the medical researchers started to tell us to do with infants in
1992 ?We now have to place our infants on their backs or sides propped with
the now ESSENTIALL BABY sleep wedges at $10.00-$20.oo a pop so now babies
are immobilized. Funny! US reports of SIDS have NOT REFLECTED a significant
decrease in SIDS since the AAP campaign started The really ASTUTE
neuro-surgeons are recommending head gear to place on the infants heads at
$2,000.00 and 23 hours a day wearing for up to a year !!!!!
WOW what a novel thought it mentions that parents have their infants either
propped on their backs all night then placed in plastic hard baby seats all
day!
        I've got a novel cheap idea tocure thewse infants of flat heads and
PREVENT or REDUCE incidence of SIDS at the same time PICK UP AND HOLD YOUR
BABY !IT might even to be neat to SLEEP with your baby (if you can WITHOUT
DRINKING OR TAKING MIND ALTERING DRUGS) WOW think of all the money and
heartbreak you can save even save money on the STUPID MONITOR that just
amplifies noise NOT SILENCE  which is exactly what SIGNALS SIDS !!!!
another point for all those devient attachment parents lead by the HUG
Zealot of them all The infamous Doctor Sears!

AM I UPSET OR WHAT CAN ANYONE HEAR ME SHOUT ?????????????????somebody post
this FAST on the parents WEB pages If we can save one infant from this
horrible unnecessary procedure !!! I don't do WEB pages very well...ruthy
anyones BzmBdy.
