Meanderings, with links

* Here is a great page on how to wear your baby in a ring sling (that's what I'm using right now) or pouch. This was really helpful to me since I've only seen one person using a ring sling, and hers was slightly different from mine. Great instructions on how to use it for different carrying positions. I wish I'd found this earlier!

* A new study warns about the possible dangers of mobile phones and pregnancy. Hmm. They do also add that "there might be other possible explanations that they did not examine – such as that mothers who used the phones frequently might pay less attention to their children – and stress that the results "should be interpreted with caution" and checked by further studies. But they conclude that "if they are real they would have major public health implications"."

* It was a disappointment last week when the Missouri legislative session ended without passing the midwifery bill that we were hoping would go through. Here is an article with more details- note, however, that it incorrectly states that the bill would've legalized "lay midwives". It would've legalized CPM's, which isn't at all the same thing.
