Ease Obstacles to Breast-Feeding, Surgeon General Says
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- How long a new mom breast-feeds can boil down to hassles at work, whether her doctor ever stressed how super-healthy it is, even whether Grandma approves. The surgeon general is issuing a call Thursday to eliminate obstacles to breast-feeding - and working moms may see the first steps: The new health care law requires that many employers start offering "reasonable" break times to pump milk and a private place to do it. No, the company bathroom no longer counts. Breast-feeding benefits both baby and mother but it isn't always easy. Three-quarters of U.S. mothers say they ...

By Hugh Collins - AOL News(Dec. 16) -- There's nothing like a mother's voice. New research from the University of Montreal shows that a newborn's brain responds differently to its mother's voice than to the voices of others.

"This is exciting research that proves for the first time that the newborn's brain responds strongly to the mother's voice and shows, scientifically speaking, that the mother's voice is special to babies," said lead researcher ...

(Oct. 28) -- A Pennsylvania woman accused of killing five newborns that she gave birth to secretly to hide an extramarital affair was "a little strange," according to one neighbor. "I live right next door to her," Joshua Bates told AOL News today. "She was a little strange. I talked to her and stuff like that [when] I would see her sitting outside smoking cigarettes [or] when I passed by.

The Anti-Vaccine Movement: Blinding Us With Pseudoscience
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyDespite the American infatuation with gambling, in other areas of life we shy away from random chance. We like cause and effect. We like the story of one thing leading to another in a nice, straight line. And if such a story does not declare itself, we'll invent one. Our need for a clear, predictable pattern leads us down the wayward path of conspiracy theories. In the absence of a cause that makes sense to us, we'll spend hours, days, years looking for one. Why? Peter Jennings alluded to a possible reason in his thorough 2003 documentary "Peter Jennings Reporting: The Kennedy Assassination ...
