Re: Question for mothers/nurses...

First of all, congratulations, Mani! Enjoy your new baby!

Secondly, I'd agree with the other posts so far. Babies have a mind of their own and it takes them time to get used to having to do for themselves all the things that were "on tap" whilst they were still cosily snuggled up inside. It must be quite a shock finding yourself in a cold world and feeling heavy for the very first time. Your baby will take time to adjust.

As for feeding, she'll not starve. When she is hungry she will go for it. Just one thought, my older son was difficult to feed - and it turned out he couldn't suck for any length of time because he suffered from an excess of mucus. I had to give him nose drops before a feed until the problem passed.
