The Art of Breast Feeding

Doesn't seem easy, actually. Babies are definitely born with the sucking techniques, but latching is a different story. Thankfully, the nurses at our hospital have been so helpful and patient and are never failing in their support, encouragement, and empowerment. I don't understand why some husbands are into helping out with the breastfeeding. There's so much to help out with, seeing the angle of the latch, testing the latch, getting and retrieving the baby, and watching him take in life. It's also a deeply spiritual event, it seems...as if Wife and Papito are one: perfect giving and perfect receiving for the perfect mutual benefit of both.
