Dear Friends:
I am making a presentation on abuse and breastfeeding. I was thinking
that the mother should breastfeeding, the parents and immediate family can do
skin-to-skin, the parents can co-sleep, and anyone in the community or village
can hold. In this way, the baby's world imprints on the baby.
The problem in the USA, and probably other cultures where mothers
routinely leave their babies to earn money, is that the mother is expected to do
all these things, with little or no village. This is another reason she burns
out, and may quit breastfeeding because she has too much to do.
What do you all think?
warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE
