Doula Surround ...researchers discovered that babies cry with the same "prosody" or melody used in their native language by the second day of life.
--------AWESOME!

A study comparing sound waves of newborn cries shows that newborns already cry with the accent of their native language.

Americans spend about 7 billion dollars on disposable diapers every year...enough to feed about 2.5 million American children for an entire year.

Kelly, I'm using some diapers from Miracle Diapers, and I'm so grateful for their services. They helped me get started while I worked on building my own stash. There is a Miracle Diapers banner across the top of this article :)

I guess $125 for an hour consultation is cheaper than a lifetime of formula if they can really help, but OUCH! How much do in-home consults with lactation consultants usually cost?

Doula Surround Babies are sterile when they come into this world full of germs. They must have breastmilk for immune protection.

Doula Surround Every hour or so, a newborn will transition from active light sleep to deep sleep and back again. When parents learn this, it helps them get more sleep at night & to relax during the day more. Watch this video of a demo of this. Thanks to HUG Your Baby for PROFESSIONALS for this vid.

Doula Surround There is no such thing as "crying it out", only exhaustive submission! Thanks to Wendy Martijn for this post!

"Why not let your baby cry it out?" There is no such thing as a baby crying it out! There is only exhaustive submission after it becomes clear that his/her caretaker is not coming to help. There can be physiological as well as psychological repercussions.

We (Philip & I) learned this, too, in a foster parenting class that we took a few years ago... If you don't respond to the baby's communication, then they will STOP communicating! (you know how so many say, "such a good baby" because they don't cry much??) It can cause long-term attachment issues. This is a proven fact.

I wish I had realized all of this stuff before having any babies... I've learned through trial and error.

Doula Surround "You don't
develop a stash of formula during pregnancy you develop the basic set
of "things" to make a stash of breastmilk. It's the same as amniotic
fluid and the umblilical chord. Does anyone choose to replace them with
man made options? NO!" via Beth, http://www.facebook.com/bethsarim, via Wendy Martijn.
