Cesarean sections are often performed when a baby is going to be born early. Likewise, sometimes labor is induced when a woman's water breaks too early in the pregnancy. However, two new studies suggest that these common practices may, in fact, not benefit babies.

A young mother of 2-month-old twins told me recently that she’s sure tired.

Since they arrived she’s been feeding them every three hours. It takes a whole hour to feed them, which means that in the past 60 days, the longest rest she’s had was two hours long … if everything worked out just right, meaning the twins went right back to sleep, without needing more than one diaper change, and her 3-year-old didn’t come in to snuggle in the mean time because of a bad dream. (By the way, the 3-year-old — as any seasoned mom would know — is the reason this young mom can’t nap during the day.)

So how is she doing?

CLEARFIELD — The “Mission: Impossible” theme song can be heard as the voice of Special Agent 13 comes over the intercom into a classroom at South Clearfield Elementary informing students that their class has been chosen to lead a secret mission.

“Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is top secret,” said the special agent, who is really Assistant Principal Mike Page.

He explained that there were confidential instructions hidden in the classroom.
