I found the handout "Breastfeeding: The First Week" at the Advance for nurses
website -- Here's the link for anyone else looking for this:   <A HREF="http://www.advancefornurses.com/peHandOuts.html">ADVANCE For
Nurses | Feature</A>
I think it's a great info sheet.  The only statement that didn't sound like
what I teach is under day 4 -- "Allow 20 minutes on first side, then as long
as he needs on the second."  I teach that baby knows when he's had enough and
encourage moms to look at the baby and how he's nursing rather than the
length of time he's spent.  I am wondering what others teach regarding how
long to nurse or whether there's timing involved.
Like I said above -- this "fact sheet" is very well done and packs in a lot
of information.  I am just curious about the "allow 20 minutes" phrase.
Thanks all!
