Yes,
they will. But, in all honesty, very few women in our culture
suckle their babies the 50-100 times a day that humans are supposed
to receive.
Dear Friends:
No one, anywhere is asking women to nurse 50-100 times a day.
In cultures where people don't wear clothes and the baby is carried all
the time, nursing rates are very high. Like the Kung San! that feed 60+
times/24 hours.
However, those of us that live in temperature or colder climates can't
do that.
We are asking mothers to pay attention to feeding cues, and nurse at
least 8 times in 24 hours. Dr. Karp says: "This leads to the obvious question,
won't swaddling and white noise obscure the hand to mouth cues or mild
fussing that signal early hunger? Yes, they will."
How then, can a THBOB practitioner say that this method promotes
breastfeeding?
