Dr. Jack Newman has said what I have thought for years.  We spend so  much 
time making things about breastfeeding that may make more progress if it  made 
it about the mothers and babies regardless of feeding method.  ALL  babies and 
moms need skin to skin and time together after birth.  As Dr.  Odent has 
pointed out, event those who never planned to breastfeed may find  themselves drawn 
to it if given the chance to truly have that important time  after birth.  
Skin to skin  matters for all babies. Think of  the babes and mothers having an 
easier go of breastfeeding in those  early hours if the standard of care was 
that all babies have skin to  skin time to transition into the world.  Thank 
you Dr. Newman.
 
Take care,
