Again, I  am requesting your expertise and wisdom. I have been trying to
keep track  of when I see this sucking pattern. It seems to follow more
C/s births  having Demerol PCA's for pain control. I can't remember if it
was with  epidurals and stadol or the epidurals that ended up  C/S.


This just reminded me that I wanted to post on two moms I saw who  had 
anesthetic placed into their incisions with a catheter and had no post  op pain.  
They breastfed within the first hour, were quite mobile and  babies were about 
back to birthweight by day 5 (day of home visit).   One was a second baby, the 
other a first.  I was very impressed with how  they reported that 
breastfeeding had gone so easily during their hospital stay.  The method is called On-Q 
and a link to info on it follows.  Any one else  had experience with this?
