Hi Everyone,
I had another mother tell me today that she's not sure about breastfeeding because she won't be able to leave the baby. And have dealt with alot of clients lately that just don't want to put in the work to breastfeed. So tired of people worried about newborns being too dependent!
So, I wondered about some sort of game/exercise to do with my prenatal breastfeeding class to get across the importance of bonding and dependence of babies.....
Any thoughts? I use with permission many of Diane Wiessinger's handouts. I have a fun slide about mammals and all the different kinds of mammilian milk and point to human's as mammals. I discuss skin to skin and that usually is well received......but I want some sort of ah ha exercise - I keep thinking of Linda Smith's line about not having babies to make our lives any easier! I'm fully realizing that with two teenagers in my house:-).
If anyone has anything to share, I'd love to hear from you!
