Doctors have Discovered

Doctors have discovered.....

So I am watching CBS evening news and lo and behold, doctors have discovered that maternal milk is important for the survival of premature babies. OH really? Doctors are so smart, aren't they.

They discovered episiotomies may not be necessary after all. GASP
They discovered it is ok to drink in labor and not jsut have ice chips (I am sure they are about to discover it is ok to eat in labor) Oh Boy!!
The list goes on.
And midwifes get poopood.

My brother is a doctor fan..... when I told him that it is ok to be in the sun he laughed at me.
When I told him I did not give antibiotics, did not give immunizations and breastfed on demand..... well you get the picture. Doctors are going to discover those issues as well.
I love doctors, I really do, one saved my life, but it is these types of things that makes me angry..... having to fight for what one thinks is the right thing to do, years before they think it's ok..... ahhhh what the hell, I am just preaching to the choir.
LOVE YA

Kanani Johnson Wahoo! MM and I laughed at the "discovery". They made it sound like the mother's milk varied so much that it wasn't "reliable" yet, the results show that it is the best...
