Re: looking for a better response regaurding naysayiers on plagio

[Guest guest]

it's so frustrating! As first-time parents who had not been around

infants a lot, my husband and I took a " baby basics " class through

our hospital's childbirth education. They talked a lot about back to

sleep but, of course, nothing about watching out for plagio. Then we

practiced swaddling for a half an hour!! Yikes!

> i wonder how many kids in the past 12yrs havent rounded out ya

know, i mean it started here in 92 that is when my oldest son was

born granted i didnt put my kids to sleep on their backs most of them

were belly sleepers but still i know tim littlefield told me kist

today have wider head than say us, becuase of teh back to sleep

campain he said that kids that sleep on their bellys tend ot have

longer head shape verses the ones that sleep ontheir backs but

12yrs is a long time to see these sort of kids and some ped maybe

newer ones seem to be very plagio educated and some speicalisct as

well just hard to explain to them why alot arent i dont really know

why alot arent i dont know why this information isnt giving to every

new mother to help prevent this why are they soo slow to get in line

with things i have no doubt in 10yrs things will be differnt for our

grand kids but still just seems hard in the mean time
