Now, is that the first minute after the MER? The first minute the baby is
suckling? The first minute of a baby with a very active, strong suck? The
first minute of a baby with a very subtle, but effective suck? The first
minute of a baby who has a disorganized suck? The first minute of the baby's
first nursing? The first minute of the baby who is 3 days old? The first
minute of the baby who is a month old? The first minute of a baby who is 6
months old? The first minute after a mom that has an overactive letdown?
The first minute of a mom that has insufficient glandular tissue? The first
minute on the second side? The first minute of a mom w/ oversupply? The
first minute of a baby doing nutritive -- or non nutritive suckling? The
first minute in which the baby suckles nutritively for a full minute, or the
first minute in which he takes ten good sucks, rests, and takes 10 good more
sucks? How long does that first minute last? Is it a football minute? How
long is that minute? 60 seconds? Or two minutes? Which first minute????
I think this is where we've gotten into lots and lots of problems -- assuming
that all mothers deliver (and all babies request) the same amount of milk in
the same time. I suspect if you read that there is something like that
somewhere, it wasn't evidence based.....
