i read the posting about the sterile water and HAVE to respond. i also live in israel and work in a peds clinic. when the girl came around trying to convince us of the virtues of the water it took all my composure to neither laugh in her face or to throw her out. what ISN'T funny is the guilt these products slap on parents. it's pretty darned difficult for a parent to NOT buy a product which is pushed at them as THE ultimate best thing for their baby's welfare. i am finding it more and more difficult and time consuming exlaing why their money is much better spent on a good educational toy.
