Dear Nikki 

I love this! What a wonderful story too!  You made a great impact.  Keep 
reminding us about your skin to skin idea.  Someone will follow through on it.

I have always wondered about skin-to-skin with  bottle-feeding. I wonder 
if the difference between bottle-feeding and  breastfeeding (as documented so 
beautifully by Dr. Meier) is really the  difference between skin-to-skin care 
and clothed holding. I would love a study  where mothers of babies in NICU 
serve as their own controls; one monitored  feed could be a bottle-feed one 
with 
mother and baby clothed, and the other  monitored feed be bottle-fed with 
skin-to-skin. I have mentioned this to many  different people, and no one has 
picked up on this idea.
    Maybe we could get more folks to do skin-to-skin,  which might be a way 
to sneak breastfeeding into some families, as some babies  would probably 
start 
latching!
