Regarding length of feed for breastffeding babies. I remember reading
"somewhere" we "hospitals" used to not feed babies at all for the first
24 hours, nothing at all. I couldn't remember where I had read that, but
had often quoted that it is important that babies go to breast
frequently, small volumes go in, and so on.  Then I found my baby book
from 1962.  My "first feeding" was at 24 hours of age, because that was
the hospital routine, and by their routine it was canned P_ _    milk,
water and karo corn syrup. So I have to look back and be thankful that
we have progressed.
