Dear Friends:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Then there is all the conflicting advice. Many moms report that every
nurse told them something different or that they saw 3 different lactation
specialists in the hospital, and they all said something different." from
Debbie Albert's terrific post
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
People learn more by what they do than by what they read or hear.
This is another reason supporting skin-to-skin care, and hand expressing
colostrum on a spoon. A mother who is overwhelmed by so many new people and
experiences and suggestions can learn to focus on her baby, the one constant,
when the baby is skin-to-skin, and she actually takes the milk out of her
breast herself and puts it on a spoon and gives it to her baby.
There is no guarantee that she will learn enough by this technique;
however, her changes of retention will improve enormously because she is the doer.
When she learns to look to her baby for the answers, the confusion
disappears.
warmly,
