    I bought two boxes of size 6 Huggies on clearance today, saving me $54.22 off the regular price!!! That doesn’t happen every day! The diaper company changed the packaging, and the grocery store wanted to get rid of the old style! I wish I could have bought more, but there were only two boxes left.

    | March 31, 2010

    Glenn Beck Tells Pro-Lifers: ‘There is a Profound Evil Coming our Way’
    http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/mar/10033004.html

    “‘There is a profound evil coming our way,’ Beck told the pro-life crowd, ‘if we don’t draw a line in the sand…’”

    “‘Pay attention to what’s happening!’ Beck stated, referencing the fact that abortion is now considered ‘health care’ by many in Washington. ‘There are people out there who want to wipe other people out…’”

    “Breastfeeding Significantly Lowers Breast Cancer Risk”

    Breastfeeding Significantly Lowers Breast Cancer Risk
    http://www.naturalnews.com/028469_brstfeeding_brst_cancer.html

    “Women who breastfeed their infants have a significantly lower risk of breast cancer…”

    “In addition to providing significant advantages to the infants themselves, breastfeeding has also been linked to improved long-term health for mothers, including lower risks of ovarian cancer, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and heart disease…”

    “When the researchers looked only at women with a history of breast cancer in their immediate family, however, they found a remarkably strong trend: Women who had breastfed had a 59 percent lower risk of breast cancer than women who had not, making their risk comparable to that of women without a family history of the cancer…”

    “Women who breastfeed also tend to be better educated and have higher incomes than women who do not…”

    Attachment Parenting Results in Fewer Behavioural Problems

    | March 29, 2010

    Mother-Son Relationship Key to Emotional Development
    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100325093124.htm

    “New research from the University of Reading says that children, especially boys, who have insecure attachments to their mothers in the early years have more behaviour problems later in childhood.”

    “According to attachment theory, children with secure attachments expect and receive support and comfort from their care givers. In contrast, children with insecure attachments have requests discouraged, rejected, or responded to inconsistently, which is thought to make them vulnerable to developing behavioural problems…”

    “‘Our analysis showed that children with insecure attachments to their mothers, particularly boys, had significantly more behavioural problems, even when the behavioural problems were measured years later…‘”

    Vitamin K for Newborns

    | March 28, 2010

    http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/03/27/high-risks-to-your-baby-from-vitamin-k-shot-they-dont-warn-you-about.aspx

    “Vitamin K shots are completely unnecessary for your newborn.”

    “ORAL Vitamin K is a safe, effective alternative.”

    Vitamin K Shots for Infants?

    I refused the shots and allowed the oral Vitamin K for each of my four children as newborns.

    In the News: Baby Stuff

    | March 25, 2010

    Men and affairs? It’s all nanny’s fault
    According to the psychiatrist Dr Dennis Friedman, entrusting your son to a nanny could turn him into a womaniser
    http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article7071735.ece

    “The idea that there can be one female to meet one set of needs and another to meet different ones…”

    “‘It creates a division in his mind between the woman he knows to be his natural mother and the woman with whom he has real hands-on relationship: the woman who bathes him and takes him to the park and with whom he feels completely at one”, Friedman says. “As a result, he grows up with the idea that although he will one day go through all the social and sexual formalities of marriage, he will have at the back of his mind the notion of this other woman, who not only knows, but caters for, all his needs…’”

    “If you interfere with the close bond that exists between a mother and child there will eventually be a reaction to it. This can be in a huge way such as abuse — and here he cites the killers of Jamie Bulger — but there can be much smaller, less serious ‘interruptions’ that could have an effect.”

    “A newborn baby is totally dependent on its mother, Friedman says. The baby recognises that it has certain ‘rights’ — such as to be loved and comforted by his mother when he needs her. ‘If he is denied these human rights he may grow up to deny somebody else their human rights,’ he says. ‘And with this the seed of antisocial behaviour starts to grow.’”

    “Girls are also susceptible to this ‘vacuum of need’, he says, but perhaps less so because the little girls have a different relationship with their mother than little boys do…”

    The author “believes that the best place for a baby is with its mother.”

    Talk to your baby (using real words)… it boosts their brain

    I think there is room for some “baby talk” in addition though. ;-)

    A medical decision between a woman and her doctor? If you have a problem with abortion, then don’t have an abortion?

    | March 25, 2010

    There is another human being involved. It’s a baby. And there are only two ways it can come out. Dead or alive.

    Do what you like with your own body, but don’t kill or harm the extra body inside. Since when does a woman’s body have double the amount of organs, or even male parts?

    Abortion is an exploitation of women. Women are often coerced into having abortions. Women are being used by men and then violated with the abortion cover-up. Women have been deceived at the most basic level. The blood of their own children has been shed – by their own hands. Abortion does not help women.

    EXPLOITATION – Abortion gives men the right to “use” women without consequences. Abortion exists so men can pursue a lifestyle of sexual irresponsibility without accountability.

    COERCION – Men coerce women into believing that abortion is the only solution. Abortion provides an easy out for the man, certainly not for the woman.

    DECEPTION – The woman is deliberately deceived about the abortion itself, its effects on her and on her living, growing child.

    VIOLENCE – Abortion is a violent act against both the mother and the child.

    CONTENT WARNING: Shows an actual abortion procedure.

    Only Public-Schooled Children Invited to White House Easter Egg Roll

    All Kids Invited to White House Easter Egg Roll, Provided They Attend Public School
    http://michellemalkin.com/2010/03/24/all-kids-invited/

    “The Obama administration announced on Tuesday it has reserved 3,000 free tickets to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll for students in D.C.-area public and charter schools, but not for children who attend private or parochial schools…”

    “So does this mean that Obama’s own daughters won’t be invited to attend the Easter Egg Roll?”

    Reading, Writing, and Free Abortions: Legal for High School to Schedule 15-year-old’s Abortion without Parents’ Knowledge

    Mother furious after in-school clinic sets up teen’s abortion
    http://www.komonews.com/news/local/88971742.html

    “The mother of a Ballard High School student is fuming after the health center on campus helped facilitate her daughter’s abortion during school hours.”

    “She took a pregnancy test at school at the teen health center,” she said. “Nowhere in this paperwork does it mention abortion or facilitating abortion.”

    “Jill says her daughter, a pro-life advocate, was given a pass, put in a taxi and sent off to have an abortion during school hours all without her family knowing.”

    “‘We had no idea this was being facilitated on campus,’ said Jill. ‘They just told her that if she concealed it from her family, that it would be free of charge and no financial responsibility…’”

    “At any age in the state of Washington, an individual can consent to a termination of pregnancy.”
