When I was a BFHI Assessor many years ago in Zimbabwe, and we asked mothers
to show us how they breastfed (which demonstrated that they had received
the required counselling from the nursing staff who had been through the
BFHI training) - we always knew which mothers had indeed received input -
they were the ones who used the 'C' hold. All mothers who had not received
help to breastfeed used Scissors. Scissors seems to be the default
position, so it always surprises me that we don't officially like it.....
