Dear Joy,
I stand corrected if I made a wrong comment about
baby friendly initiative - that will be deleted from my mind.
Some of what I said though, you must admit, has
relevance.
with my best wishes to you

Macha, I'd be interested to know if you have every tried co-bathing with
Emeleen.
This means hopping in the bath tub together and giving her the chance to
suckle if she wants to. I think being skin to skin in a quiet watery
environment re-triggers primal instincts about feeding in babies.

"starving" the mothers.
I remember that Dr Tom Brewer in the USA, many years ago wrote
in his many books. "Feed the mother and save the child" referring to pregnancy,
birth and lactation. Seems like no one has been listening!

Hi all,
Not a lot on this line recently re the PI insurance fallout. According to a
local north coast newspaper, ACMI states that 85% of all independent
midwives have ceased to work as of 31st May with the failure of anyone to
secure PI insurance.
Which states have attached PI insurance to
I usually sit back and read with much interest all
that you wonderful women out there have to offer others. I have a request
for some help if any one can - I have a cousin in Zambia who is now 14 weeks
pregnant,( IVF, after trying for many years and having many disappointments),
who is
In all honesty Sue, I think the loss of PI insurance for midwives is just
one little battle out there within the insurance world. Public liability
insurance crisis is affecting the horse riding industry (which includes pony
club riders, trail ride and riding centre operators) and is a huge issue
Thanks for sharing Macha :-) I'm very impressed and I'm sure your
experience will be inspirational to others.
By the way, how did the bottlefeeding fascist mother take to you
relactating??! Hopefully she learnt a thing or two also!

When I was in hospital, I had an

the back of the hosp...at least it would taste better. I'm sure the eggs

When I said tried everything, I mean tried EVERYTHING. Im sure I've tried
things that have never been tried before.and Im still trying them.
Co-bathing was a step for her, but she doesnt connect breast with suckle.
I've even tried this, which has got a suck or two. When feeding her
bottles,
Now I have been thinking with the government stepping in to assist the
doctors that perhaps there is a road to travel on. The road is one of
discrimination. That the government has quickly stepped in to assist the
medical profession while independent midwives' practices disintegrate.
For those
I breastfed my son until 8 months and then because he bit vadly and
because of work etc I gave up and put him on the bottle. After a few
weeks on the bottle i found myself out and he was hungry and I had no
bottle - I knew I had some milk there so i offered him
YAAAY! Vicki.
Love Sally

Hi Deb,
Yes, setting up classes in Perth as an independent educator has been hard
for years. We have had several students of the Graduate Diploma who found
the going tough - there does seem to be a closed shop mentality amongst
hospital staff towards community classes and they are not seen as

Dear All,
The video 'Aiming for Natural Birth' is very
good. I have had some of my parents view this video - some were a little
hesitent with the opening song, they thought is was going to be a little 'too
hippie/alternative' but they found that it was comprehensive and very
useful. The
I agree with Anne that this video is an amazing
price.. we got an online special,$29.95, but it's
normally only about $39.95, for 90mts and
have had great feedback, there's so much you can mark
and use in small sections.

Hi Sue and Anne,
This cheap price will be for private use only - i.e. not for group showing.
This is fine if people want to purchase one for their own use, but if it is
to loaned out then a copy that has been licenced for group use should be
purchased, if you want to avoid copyright
Yes, I have read the book and found it quite
interesting and reminisant to my experience. I found it interesting also
that when Medscape did a review on the book, the anger and mistrust was
dismissed because Naomi must not have been mentally fit. They made some
