Today I heard a story about a mom that just blessed me. Her son was born just last week and she was going to breastfeed him, but apparently the nursing staff thought other wise as they told her that he was losing weight and she needed to give him a bottle. This was a one day old baby!!!! This Mother told the nurses to "just leave him in my room, he will nurse when he needs to and will do just fine". I can almost hear her heavily accented Russian speech as she tells those nurses - "Go, Go, I know what I must do. He will be just fine, now Go". She was not to be bullied by the medical world who think they know best for babies.
Today, this mom is my hero.
