Attachment Parenting

For those who are old enough to have participated in Val Galspeak, do you sometimes come across something that makes you do that long, drawn out "oooookay"?  as in "I can't believe how stupid this is".  I am and I did as I read through this article:

Thank you insurance companies for doing your part to discourage women from exclusively breastfeeding their babies.  SARCASM INTENDED.

Insurance companies suck! That's why we definitely need health reform. Healthcare for profit is a situation that needs to stop. I read that the insurance company backed down and said they'd "re-evaluate" how they pick which babies they'll cover.

Have you seen this one? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/20/aislin-bates-colorado-tod_n_327309.html Samantha is only in the 5th % for weight and is very healthy. I'm glad I have health insurance but this has got to change!

We'd be screwed if we lived in America.  DS has consistently been in the 3-5% range on his growth charts.  Like Samantha, Owen is healthy and is probably your typical kid when it comes to vegetables.  He did impress his grandma at Thanksgiving by eating both his carrots and his broccoli bottoms.  I am more than willing to ensure there are broccoli bottoms if it gets him to eat it, LOL!
