About Me
Teaching and thinking
I met with R. again today. She's 38 weeks now, and still had to get her class about breastfeeding. This is R.'s first child, and she is very natural oriented, so it was easy to convince her why breast is better than bottle.
I brought my teaching doll, pregnancy/nursing pillow, and The Breastfeeding Book by Martha Sears.
It was fun teaching about how to latch, and demonstrating it. I think that of all the teaching subjects, breastfeeding is probably my favorite.
I also showed R. the story of my last birth, and discussed it with her. She is going to give birth at Hadassah Ein Karem, so it's less likely that something similar will happen to her as well. In any case, it is a good idea to discuss these scenarios with women before they give birth, so that they are aware of the games that are sometimes being played in the delivery room.
