Just an add-on to Roberta's recent comment about well-washed hands in
Yucatan by doctors checking for palatal clefts, etc.

When I was working in a hopsital, I observed many pediatircians giving
babies their first "public" (in front of the parents) physical and these
MDs did NOT use a glove when putting their finger in baby's mouth to quiet
crying while ostensibly checking for clefts.  (teaching hospital)

Guess this goes to show that many of us need the reminders that have been
coming up on LACTNET.
