Breast Crawl
May 21, 2009 at 12:34 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentOne of my lovely doula clients sent me this great link with lots of info on the Breast Crawl, including answers to theses questions:
- We have neither heard of nor seen this happen before. How did you discover the ‘Breast Crawl’?
- If the Breast Crawl is evidence based, why is it not being practised?
- In many places, if initiation is not being practised by the Breast Crawl or a similar process, how is it practised?
- What advantages does early initiation offer? How is the ‘Breast Crawl’ superior to other patterns of initiation in terms of getting these advantages?
- Do all babies move like this? We would like to try this in our maternity service. Can you give us some tips?
- What is the significance of ‘cheek to cheek contact’ shown in the video?
- Why make the baby go through the entire process of breast crawl? It might be logical to help the baby to take the first breastfeed as soon as it shows readiness to suckle.
- If the baby has successfully completed the Breast Crawl and taken the first breastfeed, does it ensure successful establishment of breastfeeding?
- Have you tried the Breast Crawl with premature or low birth weight (LBW) babies? What are the contraindications?
- Is the ‘Breast Crawl’ possible if the baby is born by Caesarean Delivery?
- There are many people around the mother in this video. Is it right?
