Finds of the week:
- The Baby Project: Share Your Story, NPR – NPR is looking for expectant mothers to be part of a special project where they document that final month leading to delivery. If your due date is mid-July and you’d like to be considered for the project, please fill out the form on their website. Hopefully they will include some home birthing, breastfeeding mamas too!
- Do manners really matter? Why I hate making my daughter say please and thank you, InCulture Parent
- Hitting the Bottle, NY Times – Manufacturers might be removing BPA, a chemical used to harden certain plastics, from their products. But they are substituting chemicals that may be just as dangerous.
- Vt. insurers must cover home births, Boston Globe – Can we say jealous?
- Without His Mother’s Milk, a Haitian Boy Is Lost, NY Times – A widespread belief that some women have “bad milk” — “lèt gate,” in Creole — often leads to tragic consequences. So, so sad.
