Dee,
Would you consider getting these instructions on the net somewhere? I also
often suggest cobathing to mothers and while I have access to the couple of
papers that have been published that describe how to do this I have not
found anything on the net and I think it would be wonderful to have detailed
instructions for cobathing where mums can access it.
BTW, I also find lots of useful stuff in Tina Smillie's work (and am really
looking forward to catching up with her in Hobart at the ABA conference in a
couple of weeks) and have seen that recall of instinctual breastfeeding in
children whose age is measured in years rather than months....

> You ask about babies who won't latch. I often suggest that mom tries
once/day to take a bath with the baby. I point out that babies love the
skin-to-skin and the warm water, and sometimes a baby will latch in the
bathtub who won't latch anywhere else. I also give them specific
instructions for the bath. And I tell them that sometimes babies still
won't latch, but that many mothers have found the time together, one-on-one
with that baby, to be so relaxing, enoyable, and bonding that they make it a
permanent part of their daily routine, even if they never manage to get to
breastfeeding. I tell them that the bath together gives mom time to just
enjoy being with her baby, without all the stress of other stuff that is
going on.
