I am back on LactNet after about 13 years away. I have been working in lactation off and on, more recently "on".
Is there any consensus on bilological nurturing? Right now, the nurses on our unit are watching the video. I have used it with good success, but make certain the mother knows how to unlatch the baby if the latch is causing pain and let the baby relatch to a comfortable attachment. When I tried it with a baby who screamed every time he was touched, and who had received a few bottles, I told mom to just relax with the baby and so he could learn that mom was "safe". I noticed after a few minutes he started bobbing his head and opening his mouth wide -- and then latched. Mom was happy, baby was happy, and so was this LC. Perhaps this works as one way to get nipple confused babies back on the breast? Thoughts?
