I also think that babies nurse differently in first few days as opposed to 
how they cue at one week etc.  We freak out moms by saying 10-12 times on 
day one, when in reality that isn't what happens.  I'll always remember my 
first 2 grandchildren, one sort of nursed off and mostly on for the first 24 
hours and the 2nd nursed 3 times in 24 hours!  Guess which one was 
jaundiced?  Wrong! the continual nurser was - LOL.  Both deliveries were 
unmedicated, but the 3 times in 24 hours baby had a rough delivery and poor 
apgars.  I think she was recovering.  Both went on to nurse well past 2 and 
grew up to be very  nice adults.  I agree with Jan, "rules" shouldn't 
replace cues.  Pat in SNJ
