[ozmidwifery] homebirth conference
This is a request to the melbourne members I'm going to the conference and being from Sydney and working with a budget im seeking advice on accommodation. Where are other staying? Are both the conference centre and the Mecure comfortable? The Mecure is slightly cheaper but will I be spending much on taxis getting from there to the conference? I am working from a budget. I am getting so excited to see these great women is real life. Linda.

Re: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference
Dear Lyn The conference venue is approximately 20 minutes walk from the Mercure and dble rooms start at a special conference rate of $139 per room per night. The rooms at the Geelong Conference Centre are now limited in numbers but are $97 per room per night including breakfast. Both venues are very comfortable. The accommodation co-ordinator for the conference is Diana Stubbs and Diana can be emailed at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kind Regards Sally-Anne Brown - Original Message - From: lyn lyn To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 6:01 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference This is a request to the melbourne members I'm going to the conference and being from Sydney and working with a budget im seeking advice on accommodation.

Hi all wise women, I know this is something already widely discussed, but at work this morning we were discussing redeveloping our breastfeeding policy. A hot debate occurred in relation to timing of the first breastfeed. In particular if the baby does not show interest in feeding in the first few hours, length of time before we start interfering. 6 hours was being tossed around before doing BSL's, NGT feeding, gastric lavage etc. I was wondering if anyone had any links or references at hand to support allowing the healthy term baby to go longer and to have his first breastfeed when he is ready. Thanks Melissa
Re: [ozmidwifery] the Baby Catcher
I've also read 'Baby Catcher'. A wonderful, wonderful book for midwives. I emailed the author and told her how much I enjoyed the book. She was delighted, and told me she was doing one more birth ( the woman who lived next door to her), and then she would 'hang up her pinards'. A truly insightful book, I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes and I too laughed and cried on the plane. It was great to have something really worthwhile to read while waiting, waiting, waiting in airports. By the end of the book I felt I knew her so well and such an insight into what midwives go through. regards Di Gardner - Original Message - From: Andrea Quanchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 1:54 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] the Baby Catcher I bought myself Peggy Vincent's book the Baby Catcher for IMD and have just finished reading it. I laughed, I cried but most of all thought I was reading a book that could have been about me. I would encouraged everyone to read it.
