I just do NOT get this folks!! Um, hello? How did the episiotomy heal post partum? What about c-section moms who breastfeed? What, they never heal? Give me a break. ;) What *do* M.D.'s learn in med school?? I suppose common sense isn't a required course...... How can they claim that breastfeeding mother's don't 'heal?' when obviously we *all* heal just fine after giving birth..... grrrrrrr.
