Should the government now honour its pre-election pledge to fund more midwives?

why is this lack of time issued to working mothers. What about the mothers who dont work and still dont spend time with their kids !!!!!! What about fathers!!!!!! and what about the kids were both parents are in the pub day and night. how much time are they spending with their kids !!!!!!!!! At least us working mum's are showing our kids if you want things you have to work for them not sponge or rob for them.

Thanks Cole for arinegeg that happiness and sadness are different constructs and so are mental well-being and mental illness.You have characterized happiness /ennui spectrum in terms of gains and sadness/irritability spectrum in terms of losses; and here again I concur.However, you state that loss and gains are both apart of life and behaviors directed at both of them are adaptive and only pathological behavior should be of concern.Now consider the fact that a realized or potential loss is characterized by stress. Pathological losses would be characterized by pathological stress which would in my opinion lead to illness. Hence the sadness-illness connection.Similarly, gains should be associated with relief and pathological relief in my opinion (via parasympathetic activation) should lead to more well-being and hence happiness- well being connection.so though gains and loss are routine, pathological/chronic gains and losses are not routine and would lead to either wellness or illness and thus the role and place for environment to influence wellness/ illness.

Sarah R.October 2, 2011 @ 7:43 amI am a theacer of young children (read, preschool) and am currently in school earning my degree. I first heard this saying (It takes a village to raise a child) not that long ago. I'm surprised that I hadn't heard it long before, because that is what they teach you when you get your degree. One of my textbooks for the current semester actually has a chapter with that saying as the title. Of course, the chapter is all about the entitlement programs that are out there for families. The awful truth is that everyone in education (and probably other professions as well) is being brainwashed into thinking that it really does take a village to raise a child. As a theacer, I don't think I am raising anything. I am just an educator. I don't expect my own children's theacers to raise them. I don't expect taxpayers to raise them. I had my own kids, and it is my responsibility to raise them.I noticed that most of the comments above were directed toward Hillary Clinton, but I wanted to point out that this mentality is being taught, not just by higher education, but also by theacers and politicians as well. This course that I'm taking is about educating parents and getting them involved in their child's schooling. Educating parents, as if they need to be taught. I agree that I can probably influence parents by how I teach their kids and ideas that I give them, but I also believe that teaching parents that it takes a village to raise their children is wrong.

I think anonye who would see a bottle feeding mother and instantly assume the worst (aka that they are selfish lazy mothers who couldn't be bothered to breastfeed) has some serious issues.It's cases like yours that really bring to light the need for support and information in bottle feeding formula as well. I don't know how well you personally got on with the switch and knowing how to make up, store, sterilize, etc; bottles but I know some women do struggle. I was pushed and pushed by my (rubbish) Health Visitor and GP to give formula but I didn't have the slightest clue what this meant. I cringe when I think of how I made up those couple of bottles because I had no idea what I was doing. (My cousin made her bottles up by rinsing out a previously used bottle, filling it with room temp tap water straight from the tap, bunging in a few scoops of powder, shaking it, then feeding it to the baby!)I do call myself a lactivist' but in that I include support and knowledge for formula feeding Moms and believing that donated human milk should be more accessible, safe, and affordable for cases where babies cannot be breast fed. I also try to speak out against anonye making harsh statements and over generalizing that all ffing Moms are probably just selfish. It's ridiculous and makes my blood boil just as much as when I hear of a bfing Mom being told to just give up and put the baby on formula.I know nothing any of us says to you can take away guilt but you having nothing to feel guilty for. You clearly fought hard for your babies and they are clearly very happy, healthy, thriving babies with full bellies. I love seeing their pictures on this blog and on Facebook.

I want to hear what you think: Did you nurse your babes into tdhdleroood? Why or why not? Did you have a specific time frame in mind, plan to let your child self-wean, or maybe you changed your mind along the way? What did you gain by nursing your toddler? What do you want other moms to know, especially new moms who are just beginning? What would you tell your younger self? I had hoped to nurse my daughter at least a year. A year came and went, and then another. I got pregnant around her 2nd birthday and hoped she would wean. I was ready, and nursing hurt. But I couldn't bring myself to cut her off because she loved it so much. And with a new baby coming, I figured letting her nurse as long as she wanted was best for her.All on her own, she gradually cut down the nursing sessions. At around 18 months she stopped asking to nurse when we were in public. Soon it was just to go to sleep and wake up, then just to go to sleep. She dropped naps at about two and a half, so now, at 3 and three months, we're still nursing to bed at night. And I have a 6 month old son who is nursing on demand.I will admit to having mixed feelings about nursing a three year-old. Sometimes I'm so grateful that she loves it so much. We have no bedtime battles. We read a story then she excitedly exclaims, Time to turn off the light and nurse! It's a wonderful time to be alone with her and be close. We don't get much alone time these days. Yet sometimes, I CAN'T WAIT for her to be done. Then I feel tremendously guilty.I used to think there was somthing wrong with familes in which toddlers nursed. I was very naive and uninformed. I know now that nursing until age 4 is the worldwide average. And it's not just about feeding and nourishment. Those who say, She doesn't REALLY need to nurse anymore, isn't considering all of her needs.I've become a much better and more open-minded parent after having my second. I can see now how children can be so different from one another, and have very different needs. My son nurses like a champ, but can be soothed in several different ways. My daughter could only be soothed by nursing. I know now that weaning or continuing to breastfeed isn't just a personal decision, the needs of each individual child should be taken into account. I would tell others to try and keep an open mind about when to wean, and wait for cues from their little one and not make arbitrary deadlines.BarbaraYou may use my comments.[]

Wow... just wow... Back in '07 when Raven was born, I had tried bfeistreedang. It took a very long time before I ever began to produce milk. Took even longer for Raven to learn to suck. And then, I was having problems getting *enough* milk for her. And while all this was going on, I was passing gall stones. ((OMG so not a good thing!!!)) it didn't matter what I ate/drank, everything flared them up. So, I wasn't eating enough to even make milk. After three long months of this I had to go have my gall bladder removed. During those last few weeks, I had to switch over to formula -- She was starving!And then, by 6 months old, I ended up doing what is otherwise harmful. I was doing three scoops of formula (6 oz) to a full bottle of water (9-10 oz) I wasn't watering it down *alot* and she was fine with it. It never hurt her, and I didn't know it was harmful until she was a year old and already off formula. But we were getting 9 cans of formula a month, and it was no where near enough for her. It was either water it down a little bit or spend money we just didn't have on another $12 - $24 can every week or so.Robin was much the same way, we had to fight the foodstamps because the state screwed us over with them, and they cut us off for months. Robin ended up going through 15 cans a month, and he was eating solid food at the same time. And after the trouble I had with Raven, I just didn't want to torture the baby and try and breast feed him. If nine cans are not enough to feed a baby, why are they cutting back?! It is now making me scared to have another child somewhere down the line.(again, this is nevermore82 on twitter =oP)

I hate this terminology as if it is the child at 2 who is to blame for their behaviour. A better approach would be to teach parenting in school from year 9 and midwives to strongly promote local parenting strategy sessions at first and later visits.
