Wednesday Depression (Rant)
"Clisby" wrote in message ... Teresa Chandler wrote: "Nina" wrote My SIL said she and her husband would give their baby her nighttime bottle while she was in the crib, so she wouldnt expect to be held. That always seemed incredibly hard to me. I cant imagine feeding a baby and not holding it. Not to mention dangerous. My DH has a cousin who never saw his first birthday because he aspirated on formula from a bottle his mom sent him to bed with. This is one case where I would speak up, because that is so dangerous. Teresa I thought Nina meant the parents were right there, feeding the baby with the bottle, but not holding the baby. I don't know that that's particularly dangerous (although I think it can increase the risk of ear infections) - the parent should be able to tell right away if there's a problem - but it seems pointless to me. If you're going to be there anyway, why not hold the baby? Clisby Exactly! THey didnt want her to get used to being held at night, I guess on the assumption that she'd wake up more so she could be held. Sheesh |

Wednesday Depression (Rant)
In article ,
"Alison" o.uk wrote: Wednesdays depress me cos I go along to a b/f support group where lots of mums get together and chat about stuff - no sleep, not enough milk, waking through the night etc. Like a live mkb but nothing like a live mkb. A midwife is in attendance and contributes nothing but smiles. The rant bit is that all the mums are desperate to get to 16 weeks to start bunging solids into their little offspring - 'Oh he/she woke twice in the night last night so they're *definitely* ready for solids' !!???!!! Some are even cramming it in at 12 weeks 'cos he's so big'. AND NOTHING IS SAID by the midwife. My voice is a lonely one and they look at me as if I'm mad. rest snipped I would be aasking the midwife (in private, and with as little aggro as possible) why she isn't pushing current guidelines on the introduction of solids. And if I didn't get a satisfactory answer, I would be contacting her superior. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Jeez; if only those Ancient Greek storytellers had known about the astonishing creature that is the *Usenet hydra*: you cut off one head, and *a stupider one* grows back..." -- MJ, cam.misc |
