I had him placed on me immediately after my caesarean (they didn't bother to clean him off, they just plopped him on my skin and covered us up with a warm blanket - lovely!) I was feeling exhausted and loopy, and to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention to him snuggled down there as they wheeled us from the theatre to our room - until he wriggled about and suddenly latched himself on. I remember just looking up at my husband wide-eyed and saying 'He just got himself in position and he's FEEDING already!' It was a perfect latch, too. <br /><br />That was probably the nicest memory of his whole birth. (He's still a very cheery and dogged eater, too!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-28869371368778565922011-01-10T11:26:41.402-05:002011-01-10T11:26:41.402-05:00I love the idea of providing medications and mothe...I love the idea of providing medications and mothers milk to local pharmacies and doctor's practices. This is so important because many women get such terrible information from their GP about drugs and nursing that leads to early stopping of breastfeeding.<br /><br />Are any hospitals in your area working on their Baby friendly certification? I don't know how well a DVD like this would be received...Curlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176883112936068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-80276242707428914572011-01-10T09:47:14.639-05:002011-01-10T09:47:14.639-05:00Sounds like a great video.

I know I don't have that kind of patience!Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828516083662339236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-66249324889435928172011-01-09T23:15:35.770-05:002011-01-09T23:15:35.770-05:00hi Rixa
