She's breastfeeding like an expert and her big sister can't believe her luck now that Mumma's breasts are making so much milk! She told me that the boobie milk tastes like ''rainbow.'' The whole family is riding a lovely post birth high, head over heels in love with our newest member.

You were not concerned that your daughter was born BLUE? For her sake, I dearly hope she has not suffered any brain damage during her birth. No doubt if she does, you will find some way to blame modern medicine instead of yourself.
Hello concerned reader.
If she had been blue I would not have been concerned because I have been present at normal births and know what a waterborn child looks like at the time of birth. I was concerned because she seemed white and was taking longer than her sister to take a sound. As it turns out she just took a moment to come into herself which is common. She ended up pinking faster than any baby I've seen before, once she adjusted to breathing the atmosphere.
The period of transition between relying on cord blood for oxygen to oxygenated air can be a scary one for new parents and care providers, but as long as the cord is intact there is rarely a need to worry.
No need for the snarky bullshit at the end of your comment. You do not care more about my child's brain development than I. And obviously we would know if something was wrong by now, her being over a year old and all and in perfect health.
Perhaps take your concern to the blogs of ignorant fear-mongerers who promote high risk hospital birth over normal healthy homebirth.
Also, it's customary to congratulate someone on their announcement of a new baby, but obviously basic courtesy does not apply to me because I'm one of those filthy homebirthers so far beneath you. In which case: feel free to keep your comments to yourself from now on.
