One poster mentioned ++++++ skin to skin. I have to agree! I am only per diem, not full-time, and only work postpartum (not lactation). but I have had moms do this, and have seen wonderful success! I love it! It is so simple! I do think that if it is too long since last feeding and baby is getting sleepier and less energy from needing food, that it may not be as successful, so some expressing of colostrum and getting it into baby may be needed to get back on track. My memorable skin to skin babies took less than an hour to decide not to be so sleepy and want to eat. One poor mom who was happy to not be having bad cramps as she had with her other 2, found out that yes, she got them this time too! once baby started eating REAL well! (this one took 30 min. of skin to skin to decide to eat!)
