So I just saw something somewhere else (won't specify where, but I bet a few of you will figure it out!) where a woman indicated that she WAS planning on breastfeeding, but now because of a heated debate about it, she doesn't want to anymore.


Ummmmm, are you kidding me?

My german is so far away as to be sad. :-(>>>

LOL Close... "Another German-speaker! How nice!"

I've been teaching myself German for the past few years, but I still read it a lot better than I can write or speak it. Right now I'm working my way through "Der Herr der Ringe".... Lord of the Rings. :-D (with my screen-name, go figure! LOL)

LOL, I tossed the phrase into my "free translation" software just for kicks and it said "Another German Speak! How nicely!"

Well, your article doesn't address PPD directly, and says adults need 5 hour min (same as what I found).

Yeah the next part I would have guessed at "how beautiful" or something. ;-)

I did know that Deutsch is German, but I couldn't figure noch. I thought it might be now, rather than another. :-)

Aha, I should have waited...I see you already addressed this!


Oooh, I think Tolkein would be a tough one to read in German.

They found out (not necessarily he and his buddies, but just psychologists in general) if you never get REM sleep, you eventually basically go crazy. Your body (like it says in the quote you posted) will automatically go into REM sleep earlier if you are deprived one night BUT if psychologists are testing subjects and noting they're going into REM sleep and waking them when they go into REM sleep, they don't end up going into it naturally.


I remember studying this in psych as well. I found when dd was an infant and I was super exhausted, I could just fall right into a dream state upon my head hitting the pillow. I would wake up 20 minutes later and feel like I had slept for 3 hours! It is amazing what our brains are capable of to help us poor, tired, new mommas out!

Right, "noch" is again, or in this sense "another."

Have you ever read Diana Gabaldon's books? Not sure what types you like but they might be up your alley, being a physician. ;-) Novels that are historical, to do with a nurse/doctor who time travels, who falls in love (some steamy scenes there), she portrays BFing in a very positive light, childbirth in a semi-good one ;-).

And they are HUGE BRICKS. Like some are over 1000 pages. ;-) And have been translated into German. ;-)

Yeah and yet...so often if I spend a good portion of the night dreaming (or at least REMEMBER my vivid dreams) I feel like even if I'm "rested" I didn't sleep; I was too busy! ;-)
