I am extremely pleased to be able to announce the next online Elluminate meeting. This meeting will not only be of interest to midwives, but also anyone working with pregnant women and new parents. Pregnant mums and parents are also very welcome to come along.
Topic: Bedsharing - what happens during the night
The results of a study will be presented in which Sally and her colleagues videoed infants and their parents while they bedshared, or slept in a cot overnight in their own homes. They also monitored infant physiology and matched this with the video data to gain a picture of the potential risks and benefits encountered during bedsharing compared to cot sleeping.
Presenter
Dr Sally Baddock has carried significant research looking at bed sharing and sudden infant death (cot death), as well as use of dummies and breastfeeding. Sally is the Associate Head of the School of Midwifery at Otago Polytechnic and is also a researcher at the University of Otago.
Date: 19th August 2008 New Zealand
Time: 14.00-15.00 NZ Time. See here for International Times.

Well drat. That sounded interesting...
now unless I am reading the international time clock wrong... I should have logged in last night to be able to participate.
Of course I only got this note this morning. Not quite twelve hours too late. I should check your blog more often, before the bloglines shows it!
=(
Ahhh, just noticed blogger has me as the west coast person. hmmmm will have to see what is up with that!
But it's not until the 19th, and today is the 12th. Sadly, from my point of view it takes place at 3am. I won't be at the meeting. I'll be busy bedsharing with my nine-month-old.
Hi... I'm an idiot.
Laughing at my stupidity...
Hi Dot & hbacmam
I did wonder if you two would be interested. Anyway, we'll record the session so you can have a look/listen afterward if you're interested.
I think I have everything set up to go. I don't have a microphone.. so I'll just type away if I have anything to say.
So hopefully I'm IN! baby arrivals pending.
That sounds fabulous, hbacmama - the main thing is that you can hear. Text will work fine for communicating with Sally and the rest of us.
If you want to have a practice run, I am happy to meet you there for a quick trial.
The question is when? I'll take a look at the time change when you can give me an approximate time.
Then again... I don't sleep so well lately. So yeah.
I'm online a lot of the time (I'm a sad, sad woman with no life!). If you want to do a spontaneous session, check me out on skype: sarah.m.stewart. Otherwise, give me a couple of dates & times so we can get together.
Downloading skype again.. had it this past year to chat with our friend in Egypt... but it went kabloom this summer... obviously!
=)
