normal to be taken away from mom?
And when they finally do wake up and start feeding, they will feed for hours
on end, leaving moms exhausted and feeling that they do not have enough milk
(the famous day 2 syndrome which greatly increases artificial milk sales).
Do any of you attend home births? What kind of behavior are you seeing in
home births? Is it the same pattern?
What is normal?
Esther - I wonder if we will ever see "normal" again. How do I know what it
is if I have never seen it? As for home births, I see interference there
too. Some of the midwives take the baby instead of leaving it with the mom
(to weigh it, clear out the mucus, etc). Some put their fingers in the
baby's mouth to sooth it; they even teach the parents to do it to stop any
crying. That is upsetting and I did not expect it from midwives. I
continue wondering: Was it always like this, even in the caveman days?
