This is what happens when you have children.

BREASTFEEDING AND SIDS

Dr. Greene's daily dose for Feb. 20, 2004 reads:

"Baby Waking at Night? A SIDS Silver Lining. Breastfed babies have longer sleep cycles than formula-fed babies, according to a study in the January 2004 Archives of Diseases in Childhood, but the breastfed babies are also more easily awaken. This might help to prevent SIDS."

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Two recent updates in the effort to legalize Direct-entry Midwifery:

In Utah, House Bill 227 passed out of committe by a nine-to-one vote, reports KSL-TV (AP). The bill will require licensing, but will allow non-nurse midwives to administer certain medications.

In South Dakota, however, SB176 was killed in the Senate Health Committee. The Aberdeen News reports that the bill would have regulated home-birth attendants under the state Board of Nursing.
