Revised English Version - 6 June, 2008

UNICEF, WHO and WABA along with the scientific community strongly recommend initiating breastfeeding within an hour of birth.

Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries.

Every newborn, when placed on the mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find its mother's breast all on its own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the 'Breast Crawl'.

This superb video will help initiate this process right from the time the baby is born. The video is such a joy to watch! It shows the power of nature fostering breastfeeding and adding to the medicinal, nutritional and bonding between mother and child in what can only be described as magical!

[JBcrazzie]

[infraball]

baby's first achievement in life. it still baffles me how so many mothers here (in the uk) decide not to breast feed, despite the fact that it is entirely free of cost and is by far the best thing you could offer your child in terms of nutrition..

wonderful! Babies are taken away from you in Croatia. I am going to insist on this not happening and that my little girl and I can do the same thing!

[SRivera83]

I'm pregnant with my first son and this brought me to happy tears, I can only hope for the same for my baby and I! :D That mother must be sooo proud, that was *so* beautiful and amazing!!! You go Babygirl!!

[MotherWaggy]

And the amazing thing is, if we let the baby find the breast for all feeds, and let the baby feed whenever it wants, almost all breastfeeding "problems" disappear. Instincts of mother and baby are strong and amazing when we give each other time and space.
