I have no doubt that the aftereffects of an epidural can make a baby sleepy. But, I had 4 unmedicated births and the last three were all very sleepy. I have fast labors and someone suggested that my babies were sleepy because they weren't in the birth canal very long and so didn't get that stimulation to wake them up. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
