There is a need for hospital staff to understand the importance of this time in the mother/baby relationship and how it impacts the lives of both long term. Thank you for sharing your experience for the good of so many who find themselves in your situation!Flag

Name: Pat Lane on Feb 23, 2009Comments: As a lactation consultant, I encourage and support breastfeeding soon after the birth. Babies who are allowed to experience skin to skin contact and latching within the first hour following the birth, have less breastfeeding difficulties.Flag

Name: Rachel Burr on Feb 23, 2009Comments: I am the mother of 2 sons with another baby on the way. Our first son was born under duress and needed to be swept away and I understand why breastfeeding right away was not an option. Our second son however was born by planned repeat c-section and born healthy. I asked to breastfeed him and was refused. My milk never came in after that. Months later as my child wasted away from an unknown illness, I was sad to see my child refusing food. Soon after we discovered he was allergic to silicone bottle nipples. We had on a whim decided to try latex and within a week, he was vastly improving, and now his health is improving every day. I firmly believe if I was given the option to breastfeed immediately, my milk would have had a better chance of coming in and he could have been breastfed and never introduced to a silicone nipple.Flag
