Got onto 'kellymom'. They are suggesting you wake baby 2/24 during the day and 4/24 at night. This does not sit well with me. Babies need a minium of 6 feeds in 24hrs, and can feed hourly if they want, but I don't believe waking them is such a good idea, unless there is a reason such as poor

It is beautiful. Such a pity it doesn't happen in reality. We cannot leave things alone, and must try and hurry the process. I have seen many midwives and mums wanting to 'get the baby feeding' even 'enlightened' ones. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One I have is called "Delivery Self Attachment". It shows a baby born without drugs self attaching to the breast and also one that was from a medicated birth. It is so sad to watch as the baby is disoriented and cannot find it's way to the breast even when the mother trys to help. Only

It took 20 mins to 50 mins for the babies to crawl up and be sucking beautifully. It was also interesting that babies who were removed from the mother's abdomen, bathed, measured and then put back did self attach but half of them had a faulty sucking pattern. Gosh when I think of the

It is at the kellymom site. I was wandering around it, found the b/f bit, clicked onto the normal course of b/f then onto nursing your newborn. Have just had another quick look, and other articles seem ok. It is commonly accepted in Australia that babies can loose up to 10%, some literature says

Hi, Trudi, Most *bugs* aren't necessarily passed to the baby through the milk - if they are passed to the baby it's through the normal contact mothers have with their babies, regardless of how they are fed. The mother's body begins to make antibodies which are passed through the milk to
