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

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

This is just the kind of information moms should be receiving about how intelligent and beautiful our bodies are and how they work so well. I wish this was the kind of info that was being given to moms in the US.

American moms to be should be informed about this. We should let our bodies tell us what to do.

@chilaquillez Right on Momma! same thing with my first child....i was the last person to touch her. They don't give a damn and never will. She never took to my breast. I'm not a religious woman, but what they did in the hospital was immoral. There was nothing wrong with her, but the family got to hold her before I did. Why is this normal practice? It's a ridiculous racket of overpaid heath care personnel.

What a beautiful treasure....unfortunately the nursing of my twins was cut short after only 2 weeks. My mother and husband both made hateful remarks while trying to nurse and using a breast pump. She said i looked like and old milk cow , and i guess i believed her. Totally broke my heart and confidence. I was 19 at the time, ten years later i feel so lonely that i was too young and stupid to brush off the comments and share that bond with my babies

@BerkoKaitlin Over a year later but I followed the same 'path' here ._.

@chilaquillez Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! When I had my daughter I didn't know any better. but when I had my son, I had a nurse-midwife and she had me do that. This is a beautiful birth. Sorry I discounted other people's experiences! Mea culpa.

I love how so many family members get to experiment the joy of birth. When I had my son they only allowed my husband and one other person. When my mom "sneaked" in it almost started a riot among the nurses. My doctor had to tell them it was okay.

@Lisarata @Lisarata Actually this was my request right when my son was born which was completely ignored. They took my son and wrapped him up. When I received him I began to unwrap him to have skin to skin contact and the nurses began to scold me for doing so. I still did it and I was treated like I was a bad mother for doing so. My son was just fine and still is. Sometimes modern medicine can be such snobs as to whats right for newborns and new moms.
