[blparent] Kloei is here

[Deborah Kent Stein]

Hi, Angelina,

Please feel free to ask questions on-list if they're in any way related to 
handling parenting issues as a blind person.  The discussions can be helpful 
to other parents of infants now and in future, as all posts are saved in the 
list archives.

How was your experience in the hospital?  How did the nurses and staff treat 
you?  Did they seem comfortable teaching you techniques for breastfeeding, 
diapering, bathing, etc.?

Debbie
