Anybody interested in doing research on mothers' attitudes to nighttime
feeding? I think it would be fabulous.

OK, I'll respond first (I am an extrovert, after all). What I most
appreciate about the kind of nighttime parenting we have learned (yes,
it is definitely a learned skill!) is that I almost never have to deal
with a crying baby when I am tired and cranky.

Jo-Anne Elder-Gomes, who will take what sleep she can get. Heck! Why
didn't someone tell me that by the time my children slept through the
night, I would be perimenopausal and insomniac, and not be able to find
a support group to help me with that one...
