Oh yeah, we still do that almost universally. After circ,  about 1/3 shut
down and sleep, about 1/3 are irritable and about 1/3 act like nothing
happened.  Makes for a rough day BF some of them. This is why I like Linda
Kutner's hospital policy of 3 good BF before circ.  (1997 Conf book, pg.5
of Baby Who refuses to BF).

But the poor suck R/T epidural is seen even before the circ.  If they
happen to be poorly sucking and have a circ and shut down, we are in for a
long haul.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
