Where History And Science Meet Parenting. I’m pretty good at keeping this writing thing to science, advocacy, and thoughts that, whether you agree or not, don’t aim to try and take the piss out of someone or a group of someones.
Not today. Today I’ve had enough. So I start by giving you fair warning that if you’ve logged on to read something that tries to disseminate the science in a kind and digestible way, this may not be the post for you.

Many women who pump for their babies often find that they have way more than their baby will ever consume.
It is at this point that the thought of donating that extra milk to a needy baby comes to mind. There are three ways of milk donation that are available so far: Informal milk donation, mother-to-motherFormal milk donation to a HMBANA milk bank, to help babies in the NICUFormal milk donation to Prolacta Bioscience, a for-profit milk processing company, usually through a milk depot that calls itself a “milk bank” Breastmilk donation is one of the most beautiful, pure, and selfless acts a mother could do for another. Unfortunately, some people are exploiting this generosity and using it for their own ends. The best option right now in North America for informal milk donation match-up is an organization called MilkShare.

Minute, by minute, by minute, by minute until those hours add up to create a day which adds up to create a week which adds up to create a month which adds up to create years which add up to create a life. Somehow in this mixed up media world of things to do and places to go and dreams to follow the beauty of simply being a mother is completely lost. Being a mom is enough. It’s enough, I say.

There is also the matter of me teaching university courses that deal with educational policy (yuk!) Neuroscience, for example, tells us no two brains are alike, which makes me wonder why we are trying to make all of the children common. That's really why I am writing you today. He can count to ten when we are counting Angry Birds, but he has some trouble with transfer.
Based on what I've learned over the past 18 years in the field, I have to tell you, I don't care if he walks out of your room at the end of the year and he can't write numbers up to 20.
