Last Saturday, my mom and dad attended a free "Breast Feeding" seminar held at Medical City in Pasig City. It gives tips on feeding, positioning, pumping and storing milk, weaning, and basically any other problem mom could possibly come across.
One of the video shown is the "Breast Crawl"., were in the new born (naturally) baby is laid on her mother's chest and wait for the baby to find her mother's breast and literally crawl and latch on without assistance. This only shows that God designed women to feed their child like this. 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.
UNICEF, WHO and WABA along with the scientific community strongly recommend initiating breast feeding within an hour of birth. Evidence shows that early initiation can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries.
Watch this Video:
So excited to do this one of course.
