   Nineteen84 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Woah, woah. Let's break this down another way... It's fact that prenatal care reduces infant mortality. Is it a coincidence that places with better prenatal care have higher incomes? Or that mothers with access to more financial resources get bett...

2. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top
