    Wow, if only they found the healing properties in a glass of vino! LOL, laughter and wine, now THAT would be cool.

    There is something called vinotherapy that I discovered on holiday this February. Not quite sure what it is, but I've taken it to mean it's OK to drink wine. (I think it's adding stuff to a bath - but adding a glass of wine to me in a bath sounds fine.)

    I haven't read the link Barb but I hope the advice will not be black and white that mums with PND should breastfeed. Those who have a rough journey BFing often feel enough of a failure (which can be a precursor to depression) that the last thing they need is someone telling them to BF if they've already tried their heart out and 'failed'. I heartily agree that BFing would be beneficial in the vast majority of cases to increase bonding and all the good stuff.
