MM - I was interested reading your quote about protecting the infant from the mothers faeces during birth - I have been told by a midwife at my unit on a training day that contact with the mothers faeces can be beneficial for the infant as they can get a 'dose' of vitamin K from it.

Has anyone else been told this or aware of it? It's the sort of thing that looking back I do wonder if I have dreamt it, so please feel free to tell me to pinch myself!!
