Hello Wiseones

I have been  thinking about the breech babies that are delivered where I work and I have noticed that these babies do not latch for at least 24 hrs could be longer, but there will be intervention
All breech  babies are born by caesarean section.
So I am wondering why  they seem to need an adjustment time, even with skin to skin they do not appear to show feeding cues and I am trying to find a logical answer.  Our workload increases as Lactation Consultants because we are suppose to be able to get these babies latched!
So my question is has anyone noticed this trend? 
I am hoping that Cathy Watson-Genna will read this post and hopefully have the time to post a reply that will enlighten me

Many thanks for reading my post
