I had a call from the floor this afternoon as I was preparing to go home from the hospital. A mom who delivered baby #3 on Mon via C-sec wanted to know if it was OK to try bfing one time so she could see what it was like. Away I flew upstairs to help. Mom had fed ABM to her other two children and this baby has had ABM for 2 days. In the room was 6 friends, 2 of which had "tried " to BF but couldn't due to "pain". I jokingly told them they weren't allowed to discuss bad experiences-only positive friends were allowed. I talked with Mom and friends for a bit, put the baby in her arms and the baby jumped on and latched like she had done it her whole life! She nursed enthusiastically for 30 min. This gave me time to do a mini class for mom and friends. Baby flinished with a big belch and fell asleep cuddled in Mom's arms. Mom said if she'd known it was this easy, she'd nursed her other 2 children. Her friends were majorly impressed with a little envy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed she continues.
