We perceive the number of babies with often early, high bili levels to be
increasing here, so I asked around at the Md. BFing support conference,
then checked the archives here and was interested to see a number of posts
connecting pitocin to jaundice. Or could it be related to DHA/ARA? One of
the reasons the FDA didn't approve the original application for DHA/ARA was
a concern about jaundice, and concern was expressed about liver/GI
problems, too. Would neonatal Narcan help "lack of BF" jaundice? How to fix
this?
Re:head lice remedies: after SO many different treatments, the only
successful, and BY FAR the safest and easiest remedy was to use a comb
called the Lice Miester, from the National Pediculosis
Assoc.,www.headlice.org. The process was to pull the comb through a small
section of hair, swish it in alcohol, swish it in water, wipe it off on a
towel, and pull it through another small section. If you use magnifier half-
 glasses and very bright light it helps,too.Non toxic,and MUCH easier
than "picking." The combs can be hard to find locally, but I called and
found one shop here with them. Quality time with the child is another
benefit.
Is there anything in print describing Nils Bergman's research? I am worried
that the physicians here won't bother with a film.When I saw the film, it
was such an empowering event for me that I can't wait to share it with
everyone.    I'm not sure everyone has that much patience, though.
Over the past 25 years, the best changes in American birth practices were
consumer lead. How did all these interventions butt in? If I educate the
nurses in breastfeeding, and then the moms don't want change, it's
frustrating and discouraging to the nurses.Then they give up.   !  Judy
