Just for people's information: The American Academy of Pediatrics has made a statement against swimming lessons for babies and toddlers under the age of 3 for the following reasons: 1) They are not old enough to learn water safety (preverbal), 2) there are more outbreaks of diarreha (water contamination), and 3) they gulp water so it decreases the sodium content in the blood and can lead to seizures. Re: Barbara Comstock's situation again.... I hate to take such a punitive stance on this but I really think Nurses and Nurse Practioners who are "anti-breast" and demonstrate that clinically should be reported to the State Board of Nursing. I mean really. If they are intervening in ways that are detrimental to the health of the mother and/or baby, that is an issue that needs to be investagated and dealt with. The State Board of Nursing exists in each state for the sole purpose of PROTECTING THE PUBLIC from practitioners who pose a threat to the health of the public. I don't mention Boards of Medicine here because I know less about them and their workings. But that might be stir up something interesting too. Priscilla Tait
