The Business of Being Born

I know it's american but I'm actually really excited about seeing this! I often watch birth programs and the american ones make me feel sick in the pit of my stomach and scared. The medicalisation of birth and hero-ism of the doctors is disgusting.

So anyway Ricki Lake has made a documentary about home births/natural births. Really looking forward to seeing it, not sure if it will make the impact on the US but I'm quite excited to see it all the same!! :o)



and then here is Ricki talking about the documentary... she's become a Doula!!

Formula Milk in Bangledesh Article

It's an old article but I wanted to share it. It's something I didn't even know happened until I read about it when my daughter was around 9 months old.

She was formula fed from a young age and I totally understand those who struggle with breastfeeding and turn to formula. However what goes on in these countries and even here in the uk is terrible!

Interesting read...
