Actually this list is one of the only places I have heard this side of the
coin, most often I hear women say I thought it was supposed to be natural and
easy and just work... I wish someone had told me it might be hard and need some
work, that we might BOTH need to learn how to do it.

Hi,
Gail said learned response from both mother and baby.
Um...May I say.CRAP?
Well, yes and no! There's a fab article by Andrea on the Birth International
website about breastfeeding. But, given so many births in Australia are
screwed up, babies drugged or injured and mothers
Jo, do you work in a hospital in a postnatal ward? I want to know what
homebirth midwives know about this

Agree with others - Plus in hosp: too many cooks/ opinions conflicting and
confusing information, very few midwives practice Hands Off Technique
(letting the woman touch her own breast to attach), too many dummies /
comping / bottles, drugs in labour, no privacy / quiet places, crowded rooms

I would agree with the 'crap' judgement you made. Where I work
in a small rural midwifery unit, we do a lot of physiological third stages and
the women are encouraged to let the baby feed as soon as they show signs, they
are skin to skin with mum. Lights low and the rest of the family in awe
I totally agree with this as well... However, I work in a hospital as
a Midwife, and had a wonderful homebirth experience, no drugs, normal
3rd stage, etc, skin to skin immediately... But my boy just had no
idea. My 'equipment didn't help much, either. I ended up hand
expressing for 24
this syndrome and can easily be
diagnosed as thrush.
Food for thought!

Congratulations Jo, it has been a long haul. Love M
Sometimes it just isn't easy, no matter how good at it I wanted to
be. It helps to have a baby who knows what they are doing, and 'good
nipples' (which I have now, apart from the lipstick shaped one ;)).
We are still breastfeeding now
my humble opinion on a cold wintry morning:)
