You might want to search for ecological breastfeeding. This is what I found:
Exclusive breastfeeding means giving your baby nothing but milk from your
breast; frequent nursing (including at night); pacifying the baby at your
breast, rather than with a rubber pacifier; and feeding without a
I have recently met a woman who specifically gave up breastfeeding her six
month old so she could get pregnant. That seemed like a real shame but she was
very keen to get pregnant ASAP. What would ABA's advice be on this one?

Hi Brenda
Can you give us an update on Rosebud Midwifery Unit? You were saying
recently that there were plans to stop births there - what has happened
since then.?

I have a friend who also wanted to get pregnant while breastfeeding so she
gradually stopped nursing at night, got her period, got pregnant, gave birth
and continued to breastfeed them both.

Well, We'd ask a lot of questions first! Help her explore why she
wanted/needed to become pregnant so soon. How many feeds was the baby having?
Had her period returned yet? Any other signs of fertility returning? Usually
women are able to cut down feeds so that they can still concieve.
I had a friend wean to get pregnant too, but this was a little later, about
nine months. She is in her early to mid forties, and given the reduced
fertility at that age, I think it is reasonable.

Wch in Adelaide do have a waterbirth policy and are offering waterbirth
provided the midwife is accredited and is competent to facilitate the water
birth. The protocol can be accessed under the perinatal protocols south

Hi Mary
At Selangor we - midwives, obstetricians and paediatricians - have 'officially'
supported women for waterbirth since Feb 1998. Our rate is 35% of vaginal
births and over 1600 babies have been waterborn since we opened. We will
continue to do so as it has benefits for women, their babies
Thank you all for your swift replies. I am supporting midwife who, as a
midwife in homebirth, did lots of water births and was recently present at a
water birth in a hospital where SHE supported the midwife who supported a
woman's wishes for a water birth. As we have only 'accidental' water
Mary, you may also be interested to know that our brand new bath (where I work)
is yet to be used because we -apparently - have to have a policy in place
before women are allowed to use it for labour! Even though no other hospital
seems to have seen this as a necessary requirement.

Sue,
Can I ask, do you work at Swans? I saw in the local paper that they have
upgraded the facilities and have installed and new bath. It would be a bit
mean (not to mention misleading) to market it and then tell women they can't
use it.

My naturopath out me on something called Phytopro by Metagenics. I take 2 3
times a day and they are gone within 1-2 days. When I stop taking them they
come back. I only have them during pg and shortly after so not long to go
know but they have been great.

Sue, I asked the 'powers to be' again as to why we can't use the bath. The
response was that it is very dangerous What a uphill battle everything
always is!! I also asked why we then don't have a policy on how to have a
shower in labour. The response was walking off in a huff!

Is there any chance of a complete list being collated? Consumers would find

I am compiling a list of Obs/carers who will support a woman for vaginal
breech birth as I am seeing more breech women pop up and think they have no
choice, booked in for caesars at 37-38wks. So if I can at least help them
find a supportive carer, it makes it a heck of a lot easier to accept other

These lists that are collating (eg. waterbirths and Breech VB) are a wonderful resource. Riding on Kelly's ideas for perhaps a list of Obs/Hosp/MW that support twins VB...could be useful too...?

Great idea! It would be good too if you could put a note next to each name with
their 'management' ideas eg. some Ob's will say they support vaginal breech
births, but infact they inforce a breech extraction with epidural etc. And

Being 100% pro breastfeeding Barb, I'd like to go along with your 98%. I have
to agree with Janet though. There are very real reasons why the 98% does not
apply to all in our culture particularly. Having 100% fully breastfed three

I've just gotta say that I'm gobsmacked at the number of hospitals/birth
centres that are actually offering waterbirths as a real option! That's great!
I don't get to hear much positive stuff about hospitals and birth these days.

OK, now I have a question for you - breech and talipes. A woman has just
said this:
Scan came back all fine, but bubs feet are in the birth canal area and as
she has talipes they think with her feet being crossed over she may have
trouble moving them out of where they are. We'll just have to
Ask the woman to talk to her baby while laying head down on an ironing board
that is leaning against the couch. Baby needs to know that there is a better
way out and that she needs to uncross her feet and turn around. If she really
relaxes her uterus that gives baby more room to move as well.
The moxa sticks close to the acupuncture points on the little toes has a good success rate too, or perhaps a combo of both..
