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.

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?

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

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.
