The staff if they are truely breastfeeding supportive should support
her. I wish I was their I'd gladly provide support. It's great that this
situation is available. Her being at the delivery and all. Her nursing
this new arrival just as she has nursed her own infant should show
others how open armed she is about accepting this new baby into her life
and heart. Remember breatfeeding isn't just done for nutrition it is
done to give love. Give them the best the breast!
From the cold  of upstate NEW YORK 40 below with the wind chill
yesterday.Kim Pincus RN, IBCLC,LCCE, and Mother of 3 beautiful growing
children who were all breastfeed. Ages 13,9,6. Somedays you just wish
you could keep them small but, we know we can't, we have to let them
spread their wings and fly on their own one day.
