Dear Friends:
    Yesterday, when I was working with a pediatric  nurse practitioner to 
understand her management of the big term baby with  RDS/pneumonia, I asked her 
if she'd like a copy of Meier's research. 
    She said, "No". She said she'd been working with  babies like this for 30 
years and that it wouldn't change her management of the  case. 
    I replied that I didn't expect her management of  this case to change and 
thought that it might be interesting for her to see what  some new research 
is showing.
    No go.
    My jaw stayed in place............at least on the  outside!
    May I never, never close myself to hearing about  something new or 
different.
    This baby, despite his breathing trouble, was  hell-bent on 
breastfeeding, and had at least 4 bouts while he was s2s. I still  can't understand why it 
is okay for him to suck a pacifier, but not his mother's  breast.
    warmly,
