Reminds me of after I had Aidan and needed my stitches. My Mum doesn't normally say much but she thought she was 'in the know' and said to the midwife, 'so I suppose she will need the ray lamp to help those stitches?'. The young midwife practically scowled at her and said 'no, we dont use that any more, they are dissolveable stitches'. My poor Mum!!
