Good Morning, All!:  I saw on the national news this morning
as I was 
getting ready for work that researchers have
"discovered" that skin-to-skin 
care with preemies in the NICU actually increased the
quality of their 
sleep over that in an incubator!  Imagine that!  Something
about babies 
sleeping upright on mother's chest...  Of course, the video
clips they 
showed were all of preemies in incubators, nary a bare chest
in sight.
Regarding the new growth charts.  I wonder who is going to
pay for the 
charts in order to get them into the pediatricians'
offices.  After all, 
the formula companies have absolutely no issues with
providing offices with 
as many as needed of the "bottlefeeding" charts
supplied by their company 
for free.
Enough DUH! sarcasm for this Monday morning!
