Yes,
they will.  But, in all honesty, very few women in our  culture
suckle their babies the 50-100 times a day that humans are  supposed
to receive.



Dear Friends:
    No one, anywhere is asking women to nurse 50-100  times a day. 
    In cultures where people don't wear clothes and the  baby is carried all 
the time, nursing rates are very high. Like the Kung San!  that feed 60+ 
times/24 hours.
    However, those of us that live in temperature or  colder climates can't 
do that.
    We are asking mothers to pay attention to feeding  cues, and nurse at 
least 8 times in 24 hours.  Dr. Karp says: "This  leads to the obvious question, 
won't swaddling and white noise obscure the hand  to mouth cues or mild 
fussing that signal early hunger?  Yes, they  will."
    How then, can a THBOB practitioner say that this  method promotes 
breastfeeding?
    warmly,
