As promised, here is the reference for the August "Parenting" magazine: "Safe from SIDS" by Katy Koontz, Parenting, August 1996. Discusses ways to reduce risk of SIDS (don't expose baby to cigarette smoke, sleep positioning, safe sleeping surface, co-sleeping, avoid overheating, breastfeed) and includes sidebar articles on current avenues of research, as well as an article by Paula Price DeJoie who tells her story of losing a baby to SIDS -- and why she believes co-sleeping is important. (Maybe one/both authors on Lactnet?) My relationship with this publication is paved with stress reactions, and I don't read it every month. (I feel like such a curmudgeon -- finding fault on every other page! And -- it is crammed with abm advertising.) Still, I was pleasantly surprised (emphasis on surprised) to see a higher level of breastfeeding awareness -- and accuracy -- reflected in this issue. (Due, of course, to the many letters you all have written over the years!) I haven't read it cover-to-cover, but in a quick once-over found a blurb titled "Nursing Benefits Mom, Too!" (info suggesting bf decreases breast cancer risks)-- contributed by Lactnetter Dia Michels; an article titled "I Love Labor (Really)" that puts forth a positive image of approaching childbirth "as a challenge, not an ordeal" (references to various childbirth resources), and a Q & A blurb that tells parents that breastfed infants don't need water supplements. Although the title is "When Milk is Enough (water and milk don't mix)" and the text mentions the potential for water intoxication and explains why bf babies need no supplementation -- the accompanying photo is of a bottle of milk with the nipple exploding off (water and milk flying everywhere). Sigh. Another editor unclear on the concept... Courage, troops. Keep up the good fight. Power to your pens, and all that... Margery Wilson, IBCLC Cambridge, Massachusetts
