I know--what does this guy think? That if you divert your gaze while nursing that the milk stops? That the soap opera will give your milk amnesia, and then send it upstairs, not to be seen again until it's a teenager? :P Belphoebe |

Not sure that breastfeeding whilst watching a soap opera counts as careless breastfeeding.... =8-O hardly the same as botte propping for the same purpose! I know--what does this guy think? That if you divert your gaze while nursing that the milk stops? That the soap opera will give your milk amnesia, and then send it upstairs, not to be seen again until it's a teenager? :P Belphoebe Hee hee! I especially don't get this given that Brazilian "soap operas" - called "novelas" - are actually like mini-series that run every evening for about 3-6 months and then are over, and almost every Brazilian who owns a TV (including pediatricians) watches them religiously. Not to be down on Brazilian doctors, but I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical of some of their advice: I lived in Brazil for a year, and while I was pregnant I returned for a visit. When they weren't marvelling at the fact that in Canada we don't do monthly ultrasounds, everyone was asking me how I planned to deliver the baby, so I asked a Brazilian obstetrician friend why everyone was so curious. "Oh," she replied, "it's because in Brazil anyone who can afford a private doctor gets a caesarian." "Everyone???" I asked, dumbfounded. "Well, over ninety percent," she said, matter-of-factly. I asked if doctors were the ones pushing the c-sections. She said no, that most Brazilian women didn't want their (ahem) privates stretched out by "conventional" childbirth. Besides, my childless obstetrician friend earnestly assured me, "every woman is scared of the pain of giving birth." I just laughed and blurted out, "gee, I'm more scared of major abdominal surgery!" She smiled, but still didn't see any reason to question caesarian as the "normal" way to have a baby. Given the Brazilian fixation with keeping - um - everything tight and youthful, I'm overjoyed to see how much effort is going into education about the benefits of breastfeeding. Which still doesn't explain the soap opera comment . . .! Melania |

I've had two sections, and it's hard to get the abs back in shape - having been incised no doubt hinders that. But now I'm finding myself unsurprised that Brazilian waxes are so named : ) -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |
