Because of the strain on their bodies, their lifespans are reduced by more than half. This is abuse for any mother, bovine or human, and I think PETA may have intended for people to take an extra moment to think about the inevitable cruelty involved in diverting any creature's milk from her own young.<BR/><BR/>For more info, google up the site Not Milk and have a read. Cow's milk is cruel, and nutritionally bad for humans, to boot.Ursulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821791959855170035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-82220977413367324982008-09-27T10:47:00.000-04:002008-09-27T10:47:00.000-04:00Oh,and PETA better back the heck up about ice crea...Oh,and PETA better back the heck up about ice cream. My husband is all about the boobies and such and will support PETA's rights to not want to eat KFC and hang out with Pambo but you fark with his ice cream's recipe and he'll use his power of pissy for bad. Which would amuse me and all but since I have kids I'd rather he not be in the news picketing while shouting "No boobies in my ice cream unless I'm drunk" while wearing a fur coat and walking around with a KFC bucket on his head.Kim @ Ponytaildiaries.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106809118792122459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-70447194077777145662008-09-27T10:40:00.000-04:002008-09-27T10:40:00.000-04:00I got the "we responded" email, C.

Haven't heard back so far but I'll let you know if I do.<BR/><BR/>Gwyneth? Can suck it. I'll just be happy if I could get a damned haircut and manage to not wash my dishes in loads as if they were laundry. But maybe Gwynnie pooh would like to lend me Apple's Nanny so I can implement all her excellent ideas a little easier. And I'll get right on them as soon as I implement my idea of a margarita bar in the corner of my living room. I'll put my fresh flowers on it. Oh, and I'm not totally irresponsible.

Their cows are well taken care of.<BR/>As a breastfeeding woman I'd be happy to move to Vermont and live that life :)<BR/>But, the weird thing about the Peta letter is that they wrote to the wrong people. Ben & Jerry don't even own the place anymore and aren't really involved.<BR/>I know this - I took the factory tour 3 times last year!!!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, about the sleep thing. We're going through it too. My husband has taken to sleeping on the couch while I get up a million times a night with the baby. And she refuses formula.<BR/>I have no advice. Benadryl does nothing (I take it for allergies) and coffee is necessary and I don't think it really keeps babies awake.<BR/><BR/>But, I'm with you.

If anything, human milk would be far healthier because there's no way anyone's going to hook humans up to a vaccuum 24/7 until they're sucked dry, meaning it wouldn't have the blood and puss in it that's currently found in milk sucked from sickened/weak dairy cows. <BR/><BR/>I know this was just another cute/quirky PETA ploy to bring attention to the plight of these abused animals, but really it's not that crazy of a suggestion. Why is drinking processed human breast milk gross when drinking milk from an abused cow's breast with a bunch of steroids added to it and milk and puss isn't?

My 3 year old asked what was so funny. She gave me a look of disgust and confusion when I explained to her people want to use mommy's booby milk to make ice cream.

I think you are amazing, and I am really feeling for your sleep issues right now. This probably won't help you between now and when your husband gets home, but I have to recommend a book to you that will help long term with sleep issues. It saved me when I was a new mom and couldn't get my baby to sleep. It is Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. The author is Wiessbluth. You are likely to get some negative comments about this recommendation because his strategies can be polarizing, depending on what parenting style philosophy you subscribe to. So let me tell you what I like about it. Ultimately the goal is for the entire family to be well rested and to establish good sleep habits for your child. He teaches you how to use the baby's naturally developing sleeping rythms and biology to get him to sleep when they need it. If you can get past his lectury writing style and the tangents he goes off on, the main points and strategies are gold. Both my breastfed babies began sleeping all the way through the night, 12-13 hours at about 12 to 14 weeks using the sleep strategies in this book.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get some rest soon, and I LOVE reading your blog!<BR/><BR/>BeckyBecky W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07911688333969260163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-18846421161462367482008-09-26T12:23:00.000-04:002008-09-26T12:23:00.000-04:00oh was that PETA crap for reals?!!!

You write like I wish I could!!!As far...Awesome!!! You write like I wish I could!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>As far as sleep goes, don't everyone go and hate me but here is what I did with my first. We where in the military at the time, had recently moved to a new duty station, far, far away from family. DH was gone on deployent, leaving me with a four week old. Talk about bad situation. Finally I was to my wits end. (this is the child that still to this day doesn't like to sleep. Unlike my youngest daughter who started sleeping through the night a three weeks old.) So I talked not only to my midwife, but to her ped doctor. We gave the child benadryl. You would have to find out for the weight of the child how much. But you can look that info up online. I have her only a hafe dose of what they recommended for her age...she sleep for about five ours stright....it was a wonderful!!! I only did this mind you when I absolutly had to, but it helped me keep my sanity. (IE. most doctors and midwives say that benadryl is safe even to take while pregnant.) <BR/><BR/>:-)Booba Juicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893124919568283507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-16692471321442302922008-09-26T11:58:00.000-04:002008-09-26T11:58:00.000-04:00Brilliant and oh so funny!

I believe it was Larry Niven and he was exploring the idea of parallel universes, in this one all other species had died out so humans had to produce for humans. Shudder. Not near as much humor as yours, much creepier. I hope you actually <I>did</I> send this to PETA? Hopehopehope. <BR/><BR/>As far as the insomnia insanity. I gots nuthin. I'm on year 4 of little to no sleep most nights (5 hrs if I'm lucky, 3 average), which adds to why I see my psychiatrist on a monthly basis. Probably financing his Christmas this year. <BR/><BR/>All I can suggest by way of help is nap when the baby naps and hope you can override the caffeine when necessary. You might want to try a different energizer like B vitamins, lower possibility of jitter crazies. I will not suggest exercise like others might, who has the energy for that?! (was the help question rhetorical? Oops if it was)<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the babble, it was a sub-3 night for me last night, I'm kinda loopy. Damn kids.
