Midwife's wisdom: hang clothes in the sunshine...

[Guest guest]

My great Aunt who is now 104 years old residing in the USA had two children at home. Both were premature and died at birth. Her only child, Leo, was also born at home; premature, but with the umbilical cord around his neck. The woman doctor/midwife put her small hands into the birth canal and slipped the umbilical cord off from Leo's neck. She told her that since he was premature, to hang his clothing in the sunshine every day. She told her to refrain from giving him candy up to age five or six-no matter what-as this would cause late on-set diabetes, which is comman in premature infants when they become older. Take this true story for what you will. Have a great day.Brenda Kay Winters (cross-posted from earthfirstalerts.)
