We've had a "Car Seat Stays IN THE CAR" policy at our office since 1998, for the health of the baby as well as the parent. Hopefully this additional encouragement will make it easier for folks to understand the importance.

There is so much to learn and when it comes to car seats there is one rule many parents haven't heard of: infants shouldn't be left in car seats for more than an hour at a time, and they should never nap in a car seat outside the vehicle.

Often kids are "diagnosed" with problems that are really symptoms of the absence of something they innately need, but aren't getting.

We want to take this opportunity to affirm our support for the fight for justice and equality for Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color in our country.

We are part of a society where the lives of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color continue to be blighted by structural racism, lack of opportunity, health disparities, and direct violence by agents of the state and others.

All of us at Rushford Family Chiropractic loudly affirm that Black Lives do indeed Matter and join in the demand for justice for those whose lives have been lost as the result of systemic, institutionalized racism, and join in the call for a need for fundamental reform in our criminal justice, policing, and health care systems.

We are all in this together.

Blessings to you all,

Dr. Matt

I ran across this article in my research on the history of natural childbirth in the US. Reminds me of my mom, Kathie Rushford!

Halts Chores for Hour, Gives Birth to Child Unaided

TITUSVILLE, Fla., May 19, 1955 (AP) – Mrs. Ellerbe W. Carter, Sr., put aside her household chores for an hour today while she gave birth to a daughter, her sixth child born without a doctor in attendance.
She got up immediately to tie the umbilical cord and bathe and dress the baby. When the child was asleep she went into the living room to dust furniture.
Mrs. Ellerbe, who is in her 40s, called her 71-year-old husband, Gen. Ellerbe Carter, Sr., formerly of Louisville, Ky., and asked him to telephone a friend, Mary Lou Culbertson, a writer for the Daytona Beach News-Journal. The general remained in his real estate office.
Mary Lou hurried to the home and arrived a moment after the birth. The only other person there was Ruthie Lee, a housemaid, who became so excited she was given the afternoon off.
Mrs. Carter was “absolutely beautiful” and calm as she tied the umbilical cord and washed and dressed her newborn, blue-eyed daughter, said Mary Lou. “She took a drink of whisky just before the birth, but for relaxation which she believes necessary for natural birth,” said the news writer. “When I left her home she was dusting a piano, the baby asleep in its crib.”

I remember when my husband used to say that he felt guilty that he couldn’t assist me with the night wakings and the breastfeeding.

He would often talk about how he felt bad on me.

I would joke that it’s a shame his ni***es are worthless and how he’s so lucky to get a full nights sleep....

Now, we run like a (relatively) well oiled machine if we’ve had a particularly bad run of nights.

Last night I was up all night feeding. Poorly child. 4th night in a row.

Today, no questions.
I get lunch made for me. I get a bath run for me.
I get to moan at him about being tired without any competition being made.
I get cups of tea by the bucketload.

I get a husband who is the modern day version of a ‘village’.

Because people often talk about the importance of mothers having a village. About how we don’t have the same set up as we have done in previous generations. The family setup. The women being around to support the mother.

People move away, and the family dynamics are very different these days.

But as far as I’m concerned, the mothers village of previous generations has been replaced by the modern day, hands on fathers.

And what a blessing they are.

It’s not easy finding the right way that works for each family.
After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day...

But when mothers are breastfeeding, dads should NEVER feel useless, or inadequate that they are unable to help;

For they have automatically fallen into the role of having an entire village on their shoulders.
And that is BEYOND invaluable within the family dynamic.
