<< Primary colonization doesn't need to come from the nursery
nurse if we can help it!>>
Yes Pat I agree and I teach this is prenatal bf classes. It is important for
skin to skin holding to occur and for rooming in or bedding in to follow so
that the family's friendly germs colonize the baby and not the nursery
environmnet germs. This seems to really get thru to the parents.
