Breastfeeding after birth should focus on connection, NOT hospital policies or checkboxes and goals.

The pressures in breastfeeding starts as soon as our babies leave our bodies. Instead of creating space for oxytocin and bonding we often have to wait for checks and procedures before baby gets to our breast and then are labeled either proficient or failed by our first experiences of learning.
Hereβs what we know:
* depending on your birth most babies will be born tranquil, quiet and happy to be at the breast.
* Being clear about your desires after birth, catching your own baby, refusing non essential early cord clamping, asking people to leave the room, waiting until we have a shower to have checks done
* No talking except for the parents.
* Maintaining the birthing space until the parents decide otherwise. Dark, warm and quiet.
* Not imposing goals or others ideas of what nursing is supposed to look like but rather focus on bonding, connection & comfort.

Remember that babies are born full and the point of introducing baby to the breast directly after birth is not to satiate hunger but rather to have baby suckle at the breast which awakens and activates cells that make and secret milk. The more often baby is at the breast the higher our upper limit of milk making will be & give baby access to that AMAZING GOLDEN miracle which provides high amounts of proteins, immunoglobulins & leukocytes and is babyβs first medicine.
