our list mother states:
<< Babies who have been suctioned are often not eager to breastfeed
afterwards. IN MY OPINION. >>
this is not "your opinion" - it is your professional observation. i seem to be
spending more time in hospitals than i had anticipated when i started doing
this, and it is quite interesting, but it definitely seems that all the
"normal" procedures are quite destructive to breastfeeding success, and the
suctioning and other procedures that can cause oral defensiveness - DO cause
it. especially bottling babies.
just my professional observation as well.
