To reduce the effect of the flash during birth and with young babies, simply hold a piece of tissue over the flash and they won't notice it going off.  Make sure you are only holding it over the flash area.   Jayne     ----- Original Message ----- From: Marilyn Kleidon To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] flash photography during birth Yes and California too: I was a bit stunned. Amazingly enough a lot of our young parents were (at the time ) dot commers and so they were quite techy, photos appearing on the internet as the birth was happening (not all but some, ok) hence the need for a doula when dad is so occuppied.... It is possible that their flashes were aimed away from the baby's eyes.

If photographic eveidence is required then you could have  high speed film, slow shutter speed and while you prolly wont get a great photo, you may have some evidence in the future. I had my camera set up like this for the birth of my third daughter and did get a lot lovely though grainy photos with no flash. This was 23 yrs ago and now nobody(that I have been around) seems concerned about the flash I am interested that this is still a concern. Have we just forgotten about it?   marilyn Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies.
