Young 18 year old primip planned to artificially feed.  Baby had already
had 2 feeds when I  met her.  Mum Hep B+ so baby should have been bathed at
birth but for some reason it hadn't been done.  I assisted mum to bath her
baby and then tucked it in with her skin 2 skin as the best way to keep
baby warm afterwards.  Within the hour the baby had started rooting for
breast so she thought she would have a try, baby latched and fed like a
champion.  Mum decided to keep breastfeeding and later that day sent home
all the formula and bottles she had brought in so she wouldn't be tempted
to use them!  Really works.
