I must tell you of our discussion last night while teaching Lamaze class.   A
question came up regarding the use of sunscreen for a newborn's skin .  I
answered that newborns have very sensitive skin  and the chemicals in the
sunscreen may cause  a reaction so it is not advised for at least 6 mos Then
the question came up regarding washing clothes prior to tha arrival of their
babies, and I suggested that it was a good idea to wash in a mild soap again,
to protect the babies from any skin reactions...then the question of what
type of formula I would recommend.  I referred back to the chemicals in the
suncreen, the washing of the clothes, and then said,  Would you prefer  your
 babies to *consume* anything  artifical with the possibility of reactions?
Wow, the class seemed to see where I was coming from. All of a sudden the
discussion turned to the benefits of b.f.  This was the 6th class, they're
all due soon and now more informed than ever!
Okay, okay, story over!
