Oh, how I've longed for someone to ask that question besides me!  I'm
convinced that we (brfeeding fanatics) are the only ones who are the
slightest bit interested, so it may be up to us to accomplish a good study.
 I am most definitely *not* a researcher, so one of you needs to do this <g>

Do we know anything for sure about the new ITN that is all the rage for
labor-meds here?  Is it the same as an epidural, in terms of brfding
problems?  Excuse my ignorance.  The docs here are insisting that it couldn't
be because "none of it gets to the baby".
