Perusing Leviticus

I am amazed at God's explicit instructions to avoid contagious disease

thousands of years before modern medicine.

Dinah says she does not like the title as she LOVES babies.

And a desire to avoid them is unwelcome in her future family!!

However, the book gives mothers many important bits of info

and gives me confidence in God's design.

My great-grandmother, gave birth to 17 children

but only 14 lived to adulthood.

one, a twin of Great Aunt Lillie, was still born and

and two died in infancy due to "milk sickness"

an apparent inability to digest cows milk.

Although I do not know Great-Grandma's situation fully,

I cannot help but think her babies would have been healthier

and spaced farther apart

if she had understood breastfeeding as a gift from God,

instead of embracing Victorian biases.
