Dear Friends:
    This study was done in Finland. I worked with a client ( physician) from
Finland, who told me that it is common there for mothers to stay in hospital
until breastfeeding is going well.
    As there is research linking immediate holding of the newborn with
reduced depression, I wonder if Finnish hospital practices played a role in the
conclusion.
    warmly,
