Hi Tracy,
Unfortunately I don't have any info apart from my own
experiences with 2 of my homebirthed babies.
They both barely paused at the breast whilst it was
done.
Good luck!

Subject: Guthries at the breast
Hi all,
Just wondering if anybody out there is aware of
any information on performing guthries on the babies whilst they are at the
breast. I read about it on this list about six or so months ago and have
been doing them this way ever since. However, when trying to introduce
the idea to the ward, several of my colleagues are concerned the baby may
aspirate if sucking whilst stabbed. This has certainly never happened to
me and if anything I find the baby bearly knows it is happening, is more
relaxed and the blood flows more freely. I also believe the mothers are
more content with this method (as am I!!!!!!).
What are your thoughts on this and have you any
information out there that I can utilise.
Thankyou
Tracy
