I too would love to see if there's any literature out there. My education
and personal experience tells me not to expect my newborns to be aftively
sucking in the first 24 hours as we would in the second 24 hours. I deal
with sleepy babies who are quickly supplemented and anxious parents who are
ready for baby to eat. If I can find a family who will trust me enough and
a doctor who won't interfere, I allow baby to remain skin to skin and baby
is usually alert and rooting, orienting to breast within 30 minutes, but I
don't know of the research to back me up on this, at least that I am aware
of.
