Crack Heads & Breast Feeding

Not to be confused with crack whores who breast feed.
I just had two subjects and didn't want to write two blog entries for them.

Subject 2 Breast Feeding
Is it just me or is it wrong for a male friend/relative to try to offer suggestions or advice on how to breast feed your child? So far I've had 3 men offer such words including my dad. My DAD, for the love of Pete, is telling me how to breast feed!!! I feel that is somehow very wrong.

Subject 1 Crack Heads
I'm sure this is only the first installment of what shall prove to be a long list of things nobody ever thought to tell me.
A person's scull is made up of several bones which fuse together sometime in the first year. This I knew. What I did not know was that the different bones in the scull are a little like the planet's plate tectonics theory. I was surprised to see that both of my premie kids were born with ridges in their scull, like Klingon babies from Star Trek, where the bones still overlapped. I was freaked out when I was trying to change a onsie and found, instead of a "soft spot" it was more of a soft crack. My children have crack heads! It's not a tiny crack either. It's like, the size of my entire pinky finger running from just after the forehead to the center. I pointed this out to their pediatrician and he said it's a premie thing, not to worry. I'm still wondering which part I'm not supposed to worry about, accidentally pushing my finger through the crack into their brain or the fact that they have a big crack in their scull to begin with?
What next?
"Hey doc, their heads spin around and they spit fire."
"Don't worry, it's a premie thing, it's normal."
