Dear Kirsten, Regarding the story below, it sounds like an urban legend to me--a story that may have orginated deep in the heart of the hospital labyrinth. You can't choke a baby to death when that baby hasn't even started breathing yet. Something else may have happened to cause the baby's demise--I'd like to see the chart on this one. Yours sincerely, Jock Doubleday www.SpontaneousCreation.org www.GentleBirth.org/nwnm.org
