will it matter much if baby can't bf til .. - 05/31/06 07:46 PM
2 or 3 day old?
In order for my to BF baby at the hospital I'd need written permision from the birithmom that not only allows me to breastfeed but it also has to state that she knows I have not been tested for infectious diseases and that I could possibly transmit a disease to the baby. Hospital poilicy.
The SW had to go ask legal since this has never come up before.
I am hesitant to bring up BFing with the birthmom because if she has a neg reaction to it I don't want to think of that every time I nurse. Does that make sense?
Anyway, so, will 2 or 3 day screw us up?
