‘Optimal Fetal Positioning‘ (OFP) is a theory developed by a midwife, Jean Sutton, and Pauline Scott, an antenatal teacher, who found that the mother’s position and movement could influence the way her baby lay in the womb in the final weeks of pregnancy. Many difficult labors result from ‘malpresentation’, where the baby’s position makes it hard for the head to move through the pelvis, so changing the way the baby lies could make birth easier for mother and child.

Breastfeeding protects against asthma
This is an interesting study -- it tells us that ANY breastfeeding helps to protect against asthma. So even if you will be returning to work or aren't sure you will be able to nurse long, there are great reasons to breastfeed while you can.
