Dear Friends:
    Nursing student Romero asks what can be done to  assist breastfeeding 
initiation when labor analgesia and anesthesia are  used.
    As Baby-Friendly Hospitals have shown, keeping  mother and baby together 
skin-to-skin from birth until baby has finished the  first cluster of feeds 
works. Also keeping mother and baby together all the  time.
    The Cochrane Data Base shows no value  to mother-infant separation.
Righard and Alade showed that maternal-infant separation after birth is  more 
detrimental to breastfeeding that anything else.
    warmly,
