#2. The majority of babies are very alert during the first 30 to 60 minutes. This is the BEST time for a baby to learn to breastfeeding and they learn by doing... After the first hour following the birth babies often become fairly sleepy for the next 24 hours which can make establishing breastfeeding difficult (but not impossible) if an inital latch has not been achieved. This tends to be an issue for c-section babies.

Although I didn't experience the breast crawl at birth, we do have alot of fun with this. I'll often place Olivia on my chest and she'll make her way to the boob. It's got the point though, where i'll have her on my shoulder and she'll wriggle her way down
Also, my little girl wasn't put to the breast until two weeks after she was born. She's now a BF wizzkid.
After I gave birth to Alex, the midwives massaged my tummy to bring on a contraction to help me deliver the placenta naturally - it was 12 minutes from Alex being born to my placenta delivery. They explained to me at the time, that it was routine for them to do this as the massaging mimics the actions of a baby attempting the breast crawl. x

Then why didn't they just let baby do the breast crawl?
