Am not familiar with "walking epidurals"; is this the same as intrathecal
anesthesia? Would be very interested in learning their effect on
breastfeeding. We don't use intrathecals very much, but when we do there
seems to be less impact on breastfeeding. Baby's suck doesn't seem to be
disorganized as is often the case with long term epidurals.
