Humanizing Birth
I like the analogy Dr Marsden Wagner makes..it make a lot of sense, here's his quote:
"Having a highly trained gynecological surgeon attend a normal birth is analogous to having a pediatric surgeon baby-sit a normal two-year old child. It would be a waste of the pediatric surgeon's time and skills and, when the young child gets tired and fussy, the surgeon might be tempted inappropriately to use drugs, where a properly trained baby-sitter would soothe the baby with a variety of non-medical techniques---the medicalisation of normal childhood similar to the medicalisation of normal birth. High CS rates are a symbol of the lack of humanization of birth." Marsden Wagner MD

I Love Nursing My Baby!
This somewhat grainy photo embodies why I love breastfeeding. I love the look of utter contentment on my baby's face. Nothing is sweeter!
