A Mother's Touch: Breastfeeding in the First Hour
"Ideally, the baby will attach to the mother's breast and begin to nurse and remove colostrum without assistance, but if the baby is born prematurely or is unwell, the mother may need to do this herself. Even those who have lots of experience with breastfeeding may be surprised to see how much colostrum can be expressed within the first post-partum hour. It is indeed a golden hour for breastfeeding mothers!" Copyright to Dr. Jane Morton. |
