Hey wrkime,
Leave it to me to get it backwards. Serves me right for posting 15 minutes after waking up.
I'm sure I knew this when my kids were babies...at least I think I'm sure. Oh yeah, I'm sure, I now recall the miniature baster-like things to suck snot out of their cute little noses when they got stuffy.
This changes things then. Technically, the nurse was only negligent, that is of course if she reacalled what I didn't, that newborn infants breathe only from their noses. Doing what she did kinda makes me wonder...
Thanks for mentioning this!
