Rachel, as basic as it is, many of my clients didn't know that they would be nursing as often as it is necessary. some think the baby would soon be eating something like 3 times a day like we do (which we don't, we snack all day!) I think it is important to mention the closeness between mom that develops as they spend time together every 1.5 to 3 hours and who knows how many times during the night and that it is normal and desirable.

>For our unit's website I've been asked to contribute a script for two minutes of spoken info about BF to accompany footage showing a mother breastfeeding for the first time.  Yes, two whole minutes!  The intended audience are pregnant women and their partners who may be taking a look at the website to be informed in advance of the birth about how our ward works.  It's not meant to be enough info to be able to BF, just enough to let them know that BF is a big part of their postpartum stay and some tidbits about BF that they shouldn't be without.
>I have a couple of topics I definitely want to mention, but I thought I would ask here for comments.  What would you include if you had 120 seconds at your complete disposal?
