NurtureShock co-author Po Bronson talked to the experts in a recent study on corporal punishment, and it turns out the kids who suffered more than one or two whacks on the butt may be no worse off than those kids with pristine baby butts. Continue reading »

Mothers who want to breastfeed but can’t sometimes turn to a milk bank, where donated milk is screened for safety and resold at a relatively reasonable price.

Tracy Hermanstorfer was in labor on Christmas eve at Memorial Hospital in Colorado, when something went terribly wrong. She went into cardiac arrest, her heart stopped beating, and her breathing ceased. Medical staff tried to revive her for several minutes, without any success.
An online poll has found that Americans have picked the Obamas as the celebrities they would most like to live next door to. This is not exactly a shocking choice–an adorable, well-trained dog; two adorable, sweet little girls; parents who are responsible citizens.
