bluejeans (428.7 days ago) Yes as soon as I had pushed her out they put her on me and put her straight on the boob and she stayed on me for near 3 hours before they took her and cleaned her up.
cadesmommy (429 days ago) Yes. They said to help with breastfeeding I had to do it at least an hour but the longer the better. My nurse actually made family leave(which I didnt ask for but loved) for a while so I could lay skin to skin.
MelissaJoanne (429 days ago) Yup - same thing we did!
christinaswar (429 days ago) Melissa, my husband also went topless and sleep with her in his arms most of the first night so I could get some sleep between nursing!
MelissaJoanne (429 days ago) I love my hospital. My lactation consultant there even had my husband go topless to cuddle + sleep with her.
monkeymamma (429 days ago) They encouraged it and also had me do it to regulate his temp before we could go home. They always gave natural tips.
