For Kathy who wanted studies about skin contact.  An increase in milk volume
with at least 30 minutes of skin-to-skin once a day.
Hurst, N.M. et al. Skin-to-skin holding in the neonatal intensive care unit
influences maternal milk volume.  J Perinatol 1997; 17(3):213-17.
  Someone asked about dumb things mothers are told.  I just met a young
mother who had been told she should not breastfeed because she had

believed them.  She has a very sickly two-year-old.   Pam Easterday
