I would like to echo the opinions of Jeannette and Louise about early feeds and the sleepy infant. Breastfeeding takes place even without the "ideal" initiation. Forcing an unwilling child to the breast can lead to 'breast aversion'. Lets listen to the infant, and watch for his/her cues. How many times in the past have we got into trouble for arbitrarily applying our schedules. ----"Without interest and passion, nothing great has ever happened in history" G.W.Hegel Rhoda Taylor, B.A., IBCLC ph. 604 748 4945 3346 Glacier St. fax. 604 748 2743 Duncan, B.C.
