[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there is a hungry baby and mom is the best one to feed it? (If she wants to try nursing) This isn’t a corporate trick. It’s biology. [/quote] My kid who I BF the longest spent his first day and a half in the NICU. For non NICU babies they could still get plenty of skin to skin and a feeding every 3-4 hours with time in the nursery in between so mom can rest without a baby to care for. It’s absurd how in the US a woman goes through an exhausting event of delivering a human into the world and is then fully responsible for caring for that baby on her own with essentially no care for herself. And the hospital bills for the baby as a patient too, but mom is doing all the work. [/quote]
