Hi All,
I just happened to come across this awfulness this morning.
 http://www.ehow.com/how_5043364_hug-child.html  It is a short article
explaining to parents the proper, ie safe, way to hug their child and
includes this advice,

"Many women had make the mistake of sleeping with their baby and ended
killing them. This is a sad story for many, if you follow my suggestions you
will be happier. Just be careful when you hug your baby."

The whole thing is so absurd (and so badly written.) I have heard several
cases of babies being taken away from parents who were parenting them in
normal biological ways but never for letting them cry alone in their dark
rooms.

In many ways, the world has gone mad,

Chayn IBCLC Israel
