Dear Friends:
 
Most of the participants in my classes are RNs. What gets their attention  is 
my motto "Skin to skin saves nurses work". Having done it myself, we discuss  
how putting the baby s2s keeps the baby calm and healthy, helps the mother to 
 connect with her baby, and the nurse can do all the other chores that need 
doing  while waiting for the baby to wake up and self-attach.
 
All it takes is for one participant to agree, then ask her to elaborate  
about her experience for the rest of the class. Another participant speaking  
about her experience can carry more weight than the voice of the  presenter.
 
And lord knows, nurses in the US could use a break from some work! I've  
found it helpful to reinforce that breastfeeding as a consequence of s2s is  about 
the only 'new' intervention offered that means no additional work for  nurses.
 
warmly,
 
Nikki Lee RN, BSN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI
