Wow girls... I think everyone needs to take a step back. We need to consider what we choose for ourselves & our babies.

Just because I chose to abstain from soft cheeses, cold meat, and pre packaged salads and most food that has been sitting for too long... doesn't mean that I have the right to judge someone else who chooses those things. I may have profound reasons why I don't... some may have profound reasons why they do....

And because I chose to have a half a wine here or there throughout pregnancy doesn't mean that anyone else has the right to judge me.

Some may chose to control cry their babies once born, and others may chose not too. We all can find evidence on why we make the choices we make... doesn't mean we should judge that other parents aren't "good" parents.

Can I suggest that we stop the judging now? Before it gets out of hand? We can guide and suggest different ways of doing things, but we don't need to tell anyone that what they are doing is "wrong".

It is definately inaccurate to think that pasteurisation will kill all listeria, thats a fact, but it doesn't mean that we can judge or think differently.

FWIW,... I ate sushi that was vegetarian, or cooked.... quite happily. And I ate soft cheeses, if they were cooked on a pizza etc..... that was my way around it
