Link Round Up 09/28

• Nestle, the douchebags, buy milk from Mugabe's farm (so, they support Mugabe.) Anyone surprised? Anyone wish to continue supporting a company that supports a horrifying dictator? (I wish the answer to that last one was no...)
• Nursing Birth reminds us that science likes to SCREW THINGS INTO BABIES SCALPS. WTF, world? I am going to go batshit if another one of these kinds of machines catches on in low-risk birthing.
• Blacktating's article on misleading headlines on a fortified formula study.
• Also via Nursing Birth: OMG! Articles about home births in the news that aren't full of scare tactics and misinformation! For some women, no place like home for childbirth & Needham midwife helps moms give birth at home
• Crazy Things OBGYNs Say article. They quote some of My OB Said What!? but the comments on the article are full of even more gems. And by "gems" i mean "things that make me want to blow shit up." Poor women (&babies) :(
• Via PhD in Parenting: Bias Against Boys? I totally agree. I notice this, too, and it makes me just as sad as the biases against girls. :(
• Do the Duggars Have Too Many Children? From MckMama
• A Swedish family is keeping the sex of their 2 year old secret until it can declare it for itself. The comments on the article just remind me about how uneducated the general populace is on Gender Issues. Ugh. I do think it's extreme, but I absolutely don't think it's going to send the kid to counselling any more than having a macho football coach as a dad as a young gay child will.
