Debby, A couple days ago, I took a non nursing baby & parents to a physical therapist for craniosacral therapy. I posted this information a few days ago. Part of what she said concerned the the benefits of early breastfeeding when the colostrum was present with low volume fluid. She said that the act of breastfeeding helps the baby round his own head (correcting the changes caused by birth). With low volume fluid in the mouth the pressures are greater, so baby's head gets back to round more quickly. Iis that one of the reasons God gave moms colostrum? sylvia boyd, CLE mailto:[log in to unmask]
