I use this. I also explain that childbirth meds might interfer with this
during the first few days so look for output also.
 I also use the analogy that a satiated baby will look like Dad on the sofa
after dinner!! Dads always love that one!! One Dad said " That's my boy,
stomach full and now all he needs is the remote in his right hand!".
