Marsha shared with us the press release about musical pacifiers. I wish I
could say "Now I've seen everything," but my pessimistic soul is sure there
are even worse ideas out there. I was particularly bemused by this
statement:
> Poor or entirely missing sucking skills in infants -- both premature and
> full-term -- is a common occurrence that inhibits babies' physical and
mental
> development and can lead to protracted -- and thus costly -- stays in
> hospitals and birth centers.
I don't suppose *any* of those absent sucking skills could be due to
iatrogenic causes, do you??? :-p Imagine, poor/absent sucking skills as a
common occurrence. You really do have to wonder how homo sapiens has
managed to survive.
Feeling sarcastic, can't help it.....
