Breast Feeding Class
Who would have known that something so natural would be so complex? Actually, what I got most from the class was that while it is a bit of a learning process for both mother and baby, it is a natural process that we are all hardwired to do, and mothers just need to stick to it and trust themselves and their babies. (Not counting those instances where breast feeding is medically impossible). It seems that the biggest concern is just getting a good latch, but once you have that down, the rest is just learning the signs from your baby for when they are hungry.
I also learned that I will have to wait four weeks before Bionca is really able to pump so that I can feed him as well. While that is a bit disappointing, there are plenty of other things that I can do for him before then. I’m looking forward to the experience.
A really cool thing to do is, you bathe him! It’s a wonderful experience. You get to show him how relaxing and wonderful life can be with Daddy there taking care of everything. Even changing his diapers is great if you bring the right attitude to it. Babies just love attention, so any attention you can give him will help him bond to you and love you.
