<<Oh wise ones - there is a move here to start using nitrous  oxide for 
labor analgesia.  Anyone have any ideas about how this affects  bonding or 
breastfeeding?  Any studies done? This is being spearheaded by  midwives 
locally.  Would appreciate any  information.>>

 
Gosh, Jane -- I have no idea.  I've never had  nitrous oxide, though my 
dentist has it available.  Once I asked him what  it was like and what the 
effects were and he said, "Well, Jan -- sorta liked  when you smoked marijuana." 
 Uh, Rob, no, that doesn't help me one  bit.  I never smoked marijuana -- 
not even not to inhale.  
 
Evidently he had.
 
Sorry I'm no more help than  that.
 
Interesting that the midwives want to use  it...
