Breast-Feeding May Boost IQ
I always crack up when I listen to mothers debating what type of milk to feed to children.

Another really great post by Sus, and with thoughts by Melissa that are proof positive she should be writing her own blog…
“Most of us who have overcome fear and pain during birth, and experienced joy instead of sorrow, want to share this Good News with other pregnant women. However, this is not always easy. Most of the women I have tried to reach out to IRL, at church especially (and most frustratingly) have responded, “No, I am not interested in natural childbirth, I just want an epidural.”
