Pamela said "Mothers are variable.  Babies are different."

My motto! Along with the infamous "Whatever works!" (and the mother & the
baby get to define "works"!)

I sometimes think I should publish a little book like the "Everything I Need
to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" books, with all my pithy LC "most
frequently uttered phrases". It would include the above, plus such
oft-uttered phrases as:
Feed the baby
Try nursing more frequently
You can't "spoil" a newborn
Let him/her nurse for as long as she seems to want to
Babies need to be held (or suck, or cuddle, or be in contact with your body,
or...)
No, your baby isn't allergic to your breastmilk
Unfortunately, doctors sometimes just don't have the time to keep up with
the latest research on _____.
Look at the *baby*, not at the chart (scale, whatever).
It's OK to nurse more frequently
Babies need to learn that the world is a safe, friendly place.
Don't be afraid to nurse whenever the baby seems to want to.
Babies can't tell time
It's OK to cry - we all have these moments!
What kind of support do you have at home?
Take the baby to bed with you for the weekend, and do nothing but sleep,
eat, cuddle and nurse.
The more you nurse, the more you make
Try nursing more frequently.......
