So, it doesn't always work, but sometimes being encouraged to try "just
once" can be a start.
Dear Friends:
There are studies that show an increased duration of breastfeeding when
baby goes to breast right away. Other studies show that mothers whose babies
nuzzle and lick the nipple and areola in the half-hour after birth, keep
those babies with them more in the hospital.
I love Jennifer's approach! It is something every labor and delivery
nurse and midwife and obstetrician can do; once the mother's hormones change in
response to the physical contact of the baby at breast, her feelings change
and then her behavior.
warmly,
