Of course, I have been called the "breastfeeding nazi" too, so I may be a bit extreme in my beliefs about breastfeeding.  |
Oh ok but you weren't a diabetic then where you, because about 6 or so years ago between my second and third son, they changed the policy with babies of mother's who are diabetic, they used to give em to you for a minute and wisk them away, then when I had my third and fourth I got to keep them for the first hour, it was nice....so nice.....I was highly upset with the first two, it was sad, but I was a mad woman as soon as i got to my room getting up leaving and banging on the NICU doors like some crazed lunatic, I never could sit still after having a child lol
