In  trying to word things with the norm as the standard, maybe we shouldn't 
be  talking about this intervention as being delayed if it isn't done right 
away,  but as "rushed" or done prematurely if done in the first  week


 
Excellent point, Winnie!!  If it  is going to be done -- it should be done 
later rather than sooner....  The  less intervention to the baby right after 
birth, the better.  
 
Y'know, before we do anything to a  baby, we should ask ourselves, "would 
this be done in a normal home  birth?"  
 
And after one of Jennifer's posts, I  think what every mom needs is a 
lactation midwife....which just might get us  away from the medical model of 
breastfeeding.  Though given how my hospital  (unfortunately) views midwives, 
well.....I'm not sure that would  fly.
