Hello All,
I will be teaching a Breastfeeding Basics class this week (Wednesday) in the
practice where I teach childbirth education. I recently heard a new mother
say her baby (born via c-sec) was given a bottle of formula 1/2 hour after
being born "because he was hungry". I always thought that babies aren't
really hungry until mom's milk comes in. Am I wrong? If I am correct, then
how can I explain why a newborn would take a bottle 1/2 hour after birth?
How should I address this issue if it is brought up in my class?
Thank you for your enlightening responses. :)
