Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman... starring Jane Seymour. ;-) I remember shouting at the TV at the time, "Get that baby on somebody's breast!" Hadn't the mother died in childbirth or shortly thereafter?

I used to watch a show called Jane Somebody (can't remember) MD or Doctor, I
can't remember. Anyways it was this turn of the century show where a big
city trained woman doctor came to work in the wild west. In one show, a
baby died from terrible diarrhea and the doctor, who had been treating the
baby, was blamed. She did some checking and discovered that the tubing on
the baby bottle - which looks almost exactly like the hands free one on the
website, was completely contaminated with bacteria - the bacteria that
killed the baby. I wonder how people are supposed to keep this thing clean
and safe.
Also, I can never understand why a woman would lug around a big heavy
carseat with a baby in it instead of just carrying a relatively light baby.
Just musing....

even a short nap before my little one come home, but with no success
