I read a wonderful article in Mothering that was about three unsettled children in a family bed when it was time for resting. The dad gave the mom a soothing foot massage, and one by one the children settled down and drifted off to sleep, as mom relaxed. It was nicely written, and in the hospital loved ones can reach feet quite easily. The family is so interconnected, but it's not always obvious to them. It's a great illustration of parental love being good for the children, too. My dearest wish during WBW is that women would learn more about what to expect in early postpartum breastfeeding before their babies are born, what is NORMAL.
