Dear Carol, I believe I wrote a while ago that 10 years ago in a hosp in
suburban Detroit with a then 75% epidural rate, I did NOT see later problems
with nursing.  I believe it had to do with the fact that recovery was not
rushed and baby was NOT sent to nursery UNTIL a successful BF was completed.
There is much to be said for this "imprinting" that takes place in the first
hour or two in terms of baby's memory and skill later with latching on and
how it contributes to mom/baby bonding.  So our motto should be "mothers and
babies belong together!". Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
