I find it strange how the medical advice changes so much in 5 years. When Maggie was born, they said cord care was very important. I swabbed that cord-scab with alchohol every 4 hours, imagining that I was killing all sorts of life threatening bugs. Now, in 2004 we get the instruction to just ignore the cord-scab. In 1999 they didn't even bother testing for Strep-B before birth, now in 2004 it was enough to cause them to attatch an antibiotic I.V. during labor. In 2001 they didn't even try to give Frank a bath after he was born. We liked the smell of a new baby so much that we didn't bathe him for two weeks. In 2004, we had to sign a release taking all responsibility if we didn't allow a bath for our newborn. 7:07:43 PM  comment []
