Just Beautiful

Did you know that initiating breastfeeding within an hour of birth can prevent 22% of all deaths among babies below one month in developing countries?

Every newborn, when placed on the mother’s abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find its mother’s breast on its own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called the ‘Breast Crawl’.

The Breast Crawl organisation has made a fantastic video showing a newborn attach all by itself for the very first time - just beautiful!!! If you want to see the vid Click Here (i did have it embeded on here but it started automatically & i think thats a pain in the arse so now you have to click on the link).
