Guest Post at Rediscovering Domesticity!

Rediscovering Domesticity is a blog I have been following for awhile now.  She is such a sweet person and has some great features.  I love reading her Bloggy Basics for one!  Yeah yeah... I started my blog AWHILLLLLEEEEE ago but I haven't put much effort into it until recently...  so I'm still kinna a noob!
She asked me a bit back to do a guest post about Breastfeeding in the NICU.  It started as one.. and morphed into 3!  The first of which is up today! The first one "Breastfeeding in the NICU: an obtainable goal" is our breastfeeding success story.  So go check it out,  and while your there check out some of her other features! 
And to all of Rediscovering Domesticity's readers checking out Frog in Stitches for the first time.. WELCOME!!
Here is some of my other NICU posts!

Comfort Babies = Not worth the effort

Swaddling in a Womb with a view

Standard NICU position does not leave much room for comfort

When I began hunting preemie books I only found one that I recommend,  which is the Sear's book.  In it he refers to the incubator as a "womb with a view" and it made me smile, so I'll use it here :)
There is very little you can do when your baby is in a plastic womb, other than watch.  A few things that we found I'm going to share with you today.

Saving Your Sanity

Bored parents are easy to spot

The NICU is not really a comfortable place.. It is a medical place, there are things you can do to make it more comfortable for you and your child.
Our hospital had wireless internet, which was a huge blessing! It kept us from loosing our MINDS!!

Comfort Babies = Not worth the effort.

My dad forwarded me an email from the Glenn Beck show.  It was about how mad he was about something that was said by  Dr. Daphne Austin head of NHS (Britain's government healthcare system). She said  "We are doing more harm than good by resuscitating 23-weekers. I can’t think of very many interventions that have such poor outcomes. For me the big issue is that we’re spending an awful lot of money on treatments that have very marginal benefit. I would prefer to free up that money to spend on providing support to people who have much more lifelong chronic conditions" Mr Beck was upset that Don Berwick, head of U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, idolizes her.  He is afraid that US hospitals will start allowing their own preemies to die, for funding reasons.

What Mr. Beck does not realize is that this is already happening in this country.
